Description: Information and photographs of this serious pest of citrus, with a key to the aphids found on Florida citrus.
brown citrus aphid - Toxoptera citricida (Kirkaldy) common name: brown citrus aphid (Kirkaldy) (Insecta: Hemiptera: Aphididae) (Kirkaldy), is one of the world's most serious pests of citrus. Although brown citrus aphid alone can cause serious damage to citrus, it is even more of a threat to citrus because of its efficient transmission of citrus tristeza closterovirus (CTV). One of the most devastating citrus crop losses ever reported followed the introduction of brown citrus aphid into Brazil and Argentina: 16 million citrus trees on sour orange rootstock were killed by CTV (Carver 1978).
