Experiments were carried out to study the morphological characters of Myzus persicae (Sulzer) on tobacco, rape and peach from different localities of China. The results showed that the number of accessory hairs on ultimate rostral segment had no difference among all samples in 14 morphological characters used by Blackman in this study. Cluster analysis indicated that the morphological differences between samples from peach and samples from other host plants was the biggest, the next was the samples from Changchun on tobacco. Compared with peach, the aphid from rape was more similar to that from tobacco in morphology. For the samples on tobacco from the central and southern China, they can be clustered into yellowish‐green group and reddish‐brown group. It shows unlikely to separate successfully the aphids on tobacco from those on non‐tobacco host plants only by morphological characters.
