Abstract
ABSTRACT: The giant willow aphid (GWA), Tuberolachnus salignus (Gmelin) was reported for the first time from the cold arid region of Ladakh, India. The identification of GWA was done based on morphological and molecular characterization. The important morphological characters of GWA are grayish-golden color, covered with numerous fine hairs with a large dark brown tubercle in the center of the back. GWA is a serious pest of willow and poplar trees. There is a need to study the biology and host selection behavior of this pest to develop effective management strategies.

Contributions are accepted on any of the aspects of systematics and taxonomy of insects. This includes: taxonomic revisions, phylogenetics, biogeography and faunistics, and descriptive morphology of insects. Taxonomic papers describing single species are acceptable if such a study is sufficiently justified, however, comprehensive studies that provide a comparative, integrated study of insect systematics and taxonomy will get priority.
