Aphidoidea

Taxonomic placing: Insecta, Hemimetabola, Hemiptera, Sternorrhyncha.

A superfamily of phytophagous insects that consists of 3 families, the Aphididae (the largest), the Adelgidae and the Phylloxeridae, but some authorities have proposed a somewhat different arrangement with more family names. In contrast to the Aphididae, the Adelgidae and Phylloxeridae lack siphunculi (cornicles) and produce neither honeydew nor cornicle secretions.
