Abstract


The study of the specimens of genus Impatientinum Mordvilko, 1914 from the collection générale d’aphides del Muséum national d’Historie naturelle, Paris (France) and the Colección de Aphididae de México at the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México has allowed to establish 3 species: I. chiriquense n. sp. (with the description of the apterous and alate females) from Panama, I. holmani n. sp. (with the description of the apterous and alate females and males) and I. oaxacense n. sp. (with the description of the apterae) from México. The viviparous alate females of I. americanum are described and knowledge of the apterous females of this species is improved. The generic position of the American species of Impatientinum is discussed. An identification key for the apterous females of the American species of Impatientinum is presented; this key can substitute the key by Blackman and Eastop for the World’s aphids on Cuphea P.Browne (Myrtales, Lythraceae).
