A new species of aphis, Macrosiphum martorelli is described from the Dominican Republic. This yellow-green aphis attacks the flowers, young buds and tender foliage of "cacao", Theobroma cacao L. causing considerable injuries. Although of no economical importance at present it could be of some importance to the "cacao" industry in the future.
