Popis: This study presents the list of aphid species (families Aphididae and Adelgidae, a total of 108 species of 49 genera) collected in the Curonian Spit (Lithuania) in 1985, 1988, 1989, 1991 and 2004 with comments on their distribution. Twenty five species are new to the aphid fauna of Lithuania and 12 species to the entire eastern Baltic region. One species – Schizaphis muhlenbergiae – is reported for the first time from Europe and the Palaearctic region. The Curonian Spit so far is the northernmost finding place of Aphis psammophila, Macrosiphoniella hillerislambersi, Macrosiphum ptericolens and Periphyllus singeri. Comments on the morphological peculiarities and/or biological characters of the local samples of Megoura litoralis, Schizaphis muhlenbergiae, Titanosiphon minkiewiczi, Xerobion judenkoi and Aphis psammophila are given.
