Brevicoryne is a genus of aphid insect that contains many species which are agricultural pests.
Hosts
[edit]This genus parasitizes a wide range of hosts, with many members of the Brassicaceae (broccoli, cabbage, kale, etc.) included.
Adults
[edit]Adults are distinguished from the nymphs by their darker body. They may (alate) or may not exhibit wings.
Parasites
