This paper presents the first comprehensive description of the winged males of Cinara tujafilina and Cinara cupressi (Hemiptera, Lachninae) and establishes the morphological characters enabling differentiation between them. We show that some populations of C. tujafilina, a species considered to be anholocyclic, may not have lost the genetic ability to produce males and under favourable conditions can develop in a holocyclic manner.

Virtually all aphids (Aphididae) harbor Buchnera aphidicola as an obligate endosymbiont to compensate nutritional deficiencies arising from their phloem diet. Many species within the Lachninae subfamily seem to be consistently associated also with Serratia symbiotica We have previously shown that both Cinara (Cinara) cedri and Cinara (Cupressobium) tujafilina (Lachninae: Eulachnini tribe) have indeed established co-obligate associations with both Buchnera and S. symbiotica However, while Buchnera genomes of both Cinara species are similar, genome degradation differs greatly between the two S.

In the South of France, Cinara (Cupressobium) cupressi, the main Cypress aphid, has been studied during 6 years on a mixed hedgerow in which Cupressus sempervirens and C. arizonica had been planted alternatively. In the area, this monoecious aphid is anholcyclic and heavily attended by ants.
