This study aimed to record new observations of Sanbornia juniperi Pergarde ex. Barker, 1920 (Hemiptera: Aphididae) in the Neotropical region associated with Juniperus chinensis L. (Cupressaceae). The aphids were found in September 2010 in Londrina city (23 20 23 S, 51 12 32 W, 532m), Parana state (PR), Brazil. This represents only the second report of S.juniperi in the Neotropical region, and the first report was associated with J. chinensis, thereby indicating that in addition to dispersion, the aphid is colonizing new hosts.
