In this paper, we present a review of stridulating species of aphids of the Macrosiphini genus (Hemiptera, Aphididae) and include 13 species. The most characteristic feature of the reviewed species is the presence of unusual aphids' peg-like sensilla distributed on the hind tibia, which are rubbed against the surface of the siphunculi.
