During the study conducted at the palm grove of Ziban oases from June 2017 until May 2018 and from 48 samples yellow water traps, a total of 969 aphids specimens were captured from 36 spontaneous plants identified at Ain Ben Noui palm grove, Biskra. Over 11 aphid species were identified, which 5 were qualified as accidentals and 3 were respectively accessories and constant species. The most abundant species were Myzus persicae (26.32%) and Aphis gossypii (21.05%). Myzus persicae (Sulzer, 1776) was observed on 9 spontaneous plants, Aphis fabae (Scopoli, 1763) was associated to 12 spontaneous plants, whereas Aphis craccivora (Koch, 1854) was recorded on 6 spontaneous plants. The most important richness of winged aphids in palm grove was recorded during the spring season (April = 65 individuals; March = 58 individuals) where temperature average was between 17.5°C, 25°C and level rains (May=49.53mm; March=11.67mm).

Keywords: Aphids, Biskra, diversity, host plants, palm groves.
