Contributions to a monograph of the Aphididae of Europe.

Overwintering and the fundatrix of the grain aphid Macrosiphum (Sitobion) avenae (F.).

Since the publication of the Catalog of the Aphid Genera Described from the New World (Favret et al. 2008), several errors and omissions have come to light. We here make corrections to seven genus-group names and add 17 valid and nine invalid generic names, raising the total number of available New World genus-group names to 232. Future nomenclatural additions and corrections, at any aphid taxonomic level, will be published in the Aphid Species File database (http://aphid.speciesfile.org).

Wirtspflanzen und Überwinterung eines an Erbse lebenden Biotyps von Acyrthosiphon pisum (HARRIS) (Homoptera: Aphididae)

SUMMARY

A preliminary morphometric analysis of alate Metopolophium dirhodum was carried out The alate morphs studied were: gynoparae and alate emigrants (collected from Rosa), summer exules (collected from maize in the field and from wheat in the laboratory) and winter exules (collected from grasses) Comparing the different morphs using canonical discriminant function analysis gave good separations (always in excess of 80% and often 100%) If this result is found to hold for specimens from a wider temporal and geographical range, it may be used to determine the sources of flying alatae, particularly spring colonists

The use of multivariate morphometric methods in the separation of alate morphs of the rose-grain aphid, Metopolophium dirhodum

The following is a small selection from the very extensive literature on insects; some emphasis has been placed on recent books and reviews, most of which contain further, more comprehensive bibliographic information.
