Two host-specific and 3 oligophagous aphid species are recorded from Betula nana L. in southern Bohemia. Symydobius nanae sp. n. (apterous viviparous female, ovipara and male) is described and its intraspecific variation is compared with that of S. oblongus (von Heyden). New morphological data on Calaphis arctica Hille Ris Lambers are presented, which possibly differentiate the Greenland and the Central European populations of this species. A key is given to European Calaphis spp. Occasionally, summer generations of Calaphis flava Mordvilko reproduce on B. nana, whereas it is possible that Calaphis betulicola (Kaltenbach) and Euceraphis punctipennis (Zetterstedt) are vagrants.
