First record of Essigella californica (Essig, 1909) (Hemiptera: Aphididae) in Argentina

Una búsqueda de pulgones sobre especies de Pinus se realizó en diferentes provincias de la Argentina. La identificación del material colectado permite citar por primera vez para este país Essigella californica (Essig), hallado en cinco provincias. Se presentan aspectos biológicos y morfológicos que permiten separar los tres géneros de la tribu Eulachnini (subfamilia Lachninae) presentes ahora en la Argentina: Cinara, Eulachnus y EssigellaAphids were sampled on several Pinus species in some localities of Argentina. Essigella californica was caught for the first time in Argentina, in five provinces. Aspects of its biology and distribution are presented. Biological and morphologic aspects that allow to separate three genera of the tribe Eulachnini (subfamily Lachninae) present now in Argentina: Cinara, Eulachnus and Essigella) are provided.Fil: Ortego, Jaime.

Acyrthosiphon matilei (Hemiptera, Aphididae) in the Cantabrian Mountains (Spain)

P. 383-384Acyrthosiphon matilei Remaudière & Leclant, 2000 is one of the six species of genus Acyrthosiphon Mordvilko, 1914 (Hem., Aphididae, Aphidinae, Macrosiphini) monophagous on Euphorbia L. (Euphorbiaceae). At this moment A. matilei is known in several localities of France (Alpes-Martimes and Haute-Corse departments), Italy (Ventimiglia, in French border) and Croatia (Cavtat, close to Montenegro) living on Euphorbia spinosa L. (REMAUDIÈRE & LECLANT, 2000; BLACKMAN & EASTOP 2006 [2013]). These localities are placed in the Mediterranean phytogeographic Region. A. matilei is also present in several localities of the Spanish Cantabrian Mountains placed in the Orocantabrian phytogeographic province of the Euro-Siberian region.S

Dos nuevas especies de Uroleucon Mordvilko, 1914 (Hemiptera, Aphididae) de la región de Aysén del General Carlos Ibáñez del Campo (Chile)

Two species of Uroleucon (Hem., Aphididae, Aphidinae, Macrosiphini) are described from specimens collected on South American indigenous composites in the Aysén del General Carlos Ibáñez del Campo region (Chile), which is located between parallels 43º 38’ 22” S and 49º 09’ 50” S. Uroleucon chiliotrichi sp. n. is described from apterous viviparous females found on Chiliotrichum diffusum. Uroleucon amigoi sp. n. is described from apterous and alate viviparous females and oviparous females found on Adenocaulon chilense. Differences between these and morphologically similar South American species are presented. urn:lsid:zoobank.org:pub:980349B5-EDBA-4FBC-8308-1ECE0215825CSe describen dos especies de Uroleucon (Hem.

Uroleucon chiliotrichi sp. n. se describe a partir de hembras vivíparas ápteras recogidas sobre Chiliotrichum diffusum. Uroleucon amigoi sp. n. se describe a partir de hembras vivíparas ápteras y aladas y de hembras ovíparas recogidas sobre Adenocaulon chilense.

The Genus aphidura (Hemiptera, Aphididae) in the collection of the Muséum National d’Histoire Naturelle of Paris, with six new species

P.1-33Specimens were studied of 65 samples of the genus Aphidura (Aphididae, Aphidinae, Macrosiphini) from the collection of the Muséum national d’Histoire naturelle (Paris). The possible synonymies of three pairs of species are discussed. New aphid host plant relationships are reported for A. bozhkoae, A. delmasi, A. ornata, A. pannonica and A. picta; this last species is recorded for first time from Afghanistan. The record of A. pujoli from Pakistan is refuted. The fundatrices, oviparous females and males of A. delmasi are described. Six new species are established: A. gallica sp. n. and A. amphorosiphon sp. n. from specimens caught on species of Silene (Caryophyllaceae) from France and Iran, respectively, A. pakistanensis sp. n., A. graeca sp. n. and A. urmiensis sp. n. from specimens caught on species of Dianthus, Gypsophila and Spergula (Caryophyllaceae) from Pakistan, Greece and Iran, respectively, and A. iranensis sp. n. from specimens caught on Prunus sp. from Iran. Modifications are made to the keys by Blackman and Eastop to aphids living on Dianthus, Gypsophyla, Silene, Spergula and Prinsepia and Prunus (Rosaceae). An identification key to apterous viviparous females of species of Aphidura is also provided.S

Aphis prima sp. n. (Hemiptera, Aphididae), de Argentina y Chile, primera especie de áfido colectada en el Mundo sobre Schoepfiaceae (Santalales)

The study of the first samples of aphids collected on Schoepfiaceae (Santalales) is presented. Aphis prima sp. n. is described from viviparous females collected in the Argentina provinces of Neuquén, Río Negro and Santa Cruz and in Chilean region of Maule on plants of genera Quinchamalium and Arjona, which are endemic to South America. The new species is characterized by the presence of marginal tubercles on 5 or 6 abdominal segments, tibiae homogeneously pigmented and triangular cauda in both apterae and alatae, secondary sensoria on antennal segment III in apterae, and once-branched forewing media in alatae. This last is a very rare characteristic in subfamily Aphidinae. urn:lsid:zoobank.org:pub:4D8F988D-9D9E-4E67-BA41-037C954C3F20Se presenta el estudio de las primeras muestras de pulgones recolectadas en Schoepfiaceae (Santalales). Aphis prima sp. n. se describe a partir de hembras vivíparas colectadas en localidades de las provincias argentinas de Neuquén, Río Negro y Santa Cruz y en la región chilena del Maule sobre plantas de los géneros Quinchamalium y Arjona, que son endémicos de América del Sur. La nueva especie se caracteriza por la presencia de papilas marginales en 5 o 6 segmentos abdominales, tibias pigmentadas homogéneamente y cauda triangular tanto en ápteras como en aladas, de sensorios secundarios en el segmento antenal III en ápteras y de la vena medial de las alas anteriores ramificada una sola vez en aladas. El último carácter de los mencionados es muy raro en la subfamilia Aphidinae

New synonyms and several nomenclatural clarifications on family-group names in the Aphididae (Hemiptera Sternorrhyncha)

P. 51-55In the context of the preparation of Part of the List of Available Names of the family group taxa of the superfamily Aphidoidea for submission to the International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature new synonyms have been detected and several nomenclatural problems have been clarified. Three new objective synonymies are established: Drepanosiphoninae Börner, 1944 syn. nov. of Drepanosiphinae Herrich-Schaeffer, 1857, Macrosiphonini Börner, 1952 syn. nov. of Macrosiphini Wilson, 1910 and Trichosiphonini Börner & Heinze, 1957 syn. nov. of Trichosiphini Wilson, 1910. A subjective synonymy is established: Asiphonaphidina Börner, 1952 syn. nov. of Rhopalosiphina Mordvilko, 1914. Dasiina van der Goot, 1918 is an objective invalid name, and it must be replaced, if is necessary by Baizongiina Börner, 1944(1914). Nomenclatural status affecting the names Tetraneuriden, Tycheinae, Pteroclorini and Macrosiphini are clarified: Tetraneuriden is an available name, it is a valid name in some classifications but a junior subjective synonym in others; Tycheinae is an available name but it is a nomen dubium; Pteroclorini is an available but objective invalid name; and Macrosiphini Wilson, 1910(1887) takes the date of Nectarophorini Oestlund, 1887. Also the authorship and date of nomenclatural acts in the chapter on Aphids in the Handbuch der Pflanzenkrankheiten, 1932, are clarified.S

Mexican uroleucon (Hemiptera: Aphididae) from the collection of the Muséum National d`Histoire Naturelle of Paris with eleven new species

P. 622-648Very little is known about the Mexican fauna of Uroleucon ; only 4 species have been recorded, which is fewer than in Central America and the Caribbean. One hundred ninety two samples collected in 19 Mexican states from the Muséum national d’Histoire naturelle (Paris) collection have been studied and 30 species identified. Four of them are the species previously recorded ( U. ambrosiae , U. erigeronense , U. pseudoambrosiae and U. sonchi ). Fifteen North American species are recorded for the first time from Mexico: U. astronomus , U. brevitarsus , U. chani , U. eupatoricolens , U. gravicorne , U. macgillivrayae , U. maximilianicola , U. nigrotuberculatum , U. obscuricaudatum , U. paucosensoriatum , U. penderum , U. reynoldense , U. richardsi , U. stoetzelae and U. zerogutierrezis . Thirty-three new “aphid/host plant” relationships of these species have been established. Comments about the distribution of the species are made. Eleven new species are described, illustrated and discussed: U. penae , U. mexicanum , U. gnaphalii , U. sinuense , U. munozae , U. zacatecense , U. queretarense , U. tlaxcalense , U . latgei , U. heterothecae and U. remaudiereorum . An appendix with modifications for 17 keys in Blackman and Eastop’s work, “Aphids on the World’s Herbaceous Plants and Shrubs”, is presented and 3 additional keys are givenS
