Apterae 2 to 3 mm, relatively long-hairy and with short siphunculi and found in large colonies on the underside of Norway Maple leaves.

Records should be supported by a photograph showing the aphids in as much detail as possible.  Please also state the host plant when submitting your record.

Aphids may be found in areas where Norway Maple occurs.

Aphids may be seen when Norway Maple is in leaf.

The aphids are intensively visited by ants. This is the only species that does not have an aestivating form; in the high summer many minute individuals are born, but these do not enter diapause.

Status in Britain is difficult to determine due to lack of records.

Status in Leicestershire and Rutland not known.
