. A key is given to distinguish the European species of both apterous and alate viviparous females of the genus Ovatomyzus. The synonymy, host plant range and geographical distribution of each species are summarized. Phorodon calaminthae Macchiati is regarded as a synonym of P.chamaedrys Passerini. As far as is known, all the species are permanently parthenogenetic.
