Abstract
The results of comparative analysis of genetic variability of COI, COII, and cyt b genes in aphids (Aphidoidea), which differ in ecology and a type of life cycle, are shown in the paper. It is found out that species being anolocyclic polyphagous with subcosmopolite distribution have the highest level of genetic variability of COI and cyt b nucleotide sequences comparing to aphids from other ecological and biological groups.
