Abstract
An updated aphid (Homoptera, Aphidinea) check-list of the Republic of Dagestan (the Russian Federation) is presented, it includes 125 species and 2 subspecies. Three new aphid species are described here: Aphis dagestanica sp. nov. based on apterous viviparous females, oviparous females and apterous male, living on Caucasalia parviflora (Asteraceae), Aphis epilobiphaga sp. nov. based on apterous viviparous females, living on Epilobium colchicum (Onagraceae) and Aphis oxalicola sp. nov. based on apterous viviparous females, living on Oxalis stricta (Oxalydaceae). Redescription of Macrosiphum pulcherimum Nevsky, 1928 based on apterous viviparous females are given, a lectotype is designated and data provided on the distribution and biology of this species. Previously unknown males and oviparous females of Aphis leontodontis (Börner, 1950) and Brachyunguis zygophylli (Nevsky, 1928) and oviparous females of Aphis apocynicola Holman, 1992, are described. Notes about the distribution and biology of aphids recorded in Dagestan and on the completeness of the list are given.
期刊介绍:
Zootaxa is a peer-reviewed international journal for rapid publication of high quality papers on any aspect of systematic zoology, with a preference for large taxonomic works such as monographs and revisions. Zootaxa considers papers on all animal taxa, both living and fossil, and especially encourages descriptions of new taxa. All types of taxonomic papers are considered, including theories and methods of systematics and phylogeny, taxonomic monographs, revisions and reviews, catalogues/checklists, biographies and bibliographies, identification guides, analysis of characters, phylogenetic relationships and zoogeographical patterns of distribution, descriptions of taxa, and nomenclature. Open access publishing option is strongly encouraged for authors with research grants and other funds. For those without grants/funds, all accepted manuscripts will be published but access is secured for subscribers only.
