Aphelinus asychis Walker 1839

Aphelinus asychis is a parasitoid wasp native to Eurasia that was introduced to North America to control the Russian wheat aphid.^[1] It has six different aphid hosts, including Acyrthosiphon pisum.^[2]

Recent work shows that the species as currently described does not form a monophyletic group and its taxonomy and phylogenetic relationship should be re-examined.^[3]

Trabajos recientes parecen mostrar que la especie no forma un grupo monofilético y que su taxonomía debe ser revisada.^[2]​

Aphelinus asychis je vrsta parazitske osice, ki je domorodna v Evraziji, v Severno Ameriko pa je bila vnešena za biološki nadzor škodljivcev, saj njene ličinke zajedajo rusko pšenično uš.^[1]

Zadnje raziskave so pokazale, da vrsta ni monofiletska, zaradi česar bo potrebno njeno taksonomijo in filogenetiko ponovno preučiti.^[2]
