A Fossil Specimen of the North American Hickory Aphid (Longistigma caryae Harris), Found in Tertiary Deposits in Iceland
Abstract A fossil specimen of Longistigma caryae (Harris) has been found in tuff from Iceland, locality: Hrútagíl i Mókollsdal in northwestern Iceland, age: Upper Miocene or Lower Pliocene. In the present time the species lives exclusively in the region of the Eastern Deciduous Forests of North Amer...
