With the development of agriculture, aphids, like some other insects, have widely spread beyond their original geographical regions. The aim of this study was to obtain data that could improve the understanding of aphid-plant interactions in different habitats. As a result of research conducted in the Uzhanskyi National Nature Park and its environs in 2022, 18 species of aphids were identified on 16 taxa of plants. Among them, 12 species of aphids were recorded for the first time in the park: Aphis fabae, Aphis craccivora, Anuraphis subterranea, Brachycaudus cardui, Delphiniobium junackianum, Macrosiphum funestum, Macrosiphum rosae, Megoura viciae, Sitobion avenae, Uroleucon achilleae, Uroleucon cichorii, Cinara piceae. A species specific to beech forests, Lachnus pallipes, was also found. The annotated list also contains data on host plants, distribution, and some biological characteristics.
