Brevicoryne is a genus of aphid insect that contains many insects which are agricultural pests.

This genus parasitizes a wide range of hosts, with many members of the Brassicaceae (broccoli, cabbage, kale, etc.) included.

Adults are distinguished from the nymphs (or alate) by their darker body. They may or may not exhibit wings.

Many species of wasps parasitize the juvenile (nymph); injecting their eggs using their ovipositor creating 'mummies' (so called because of their desiccated appearance).
