Subtribe Aphidina Aphis galiae Ivanovskaja Published information. Ivanovskaya (1977) indicates that this species was collected from Betula nana in the vicinity of Norilsk ( NUO ). We managed to study a slide on which there is an apterous viviparous female collected on 24 July 1964 from Betula nana in the vicinity of Talnakh and identified by Ivanovskaya as Aphis galiae . However, the slide is in bad condition, the aphids are poorly visible and they can hardly be identified even to genus, so it is impossible to confirm or disprove Ivanovskaya’s determination. Aphis khrulevae Stekolshchikov et Buga Published information. Ivanovskaya (1977) recorded that Aphis verbasci Schrank was collected in the vicinity of Norilsk ( NUO ) and that aphids of this species live in the territory of Siberia on Verbascum . We managed to study a slide on which there are two apterous viviparous females collected on 24 July 1964 from “ Veronica?” in the vicinity of Talnakh and identified by Ivanovskaya as Aphis verbasci . These aphids, two fundatrices, were included, along with material from the Murmansk region and several other fundatrices collected by O.A. Khruleva in the lower course of Kotuy River in 2010, in the description of the new species Aphis khrulevae Stekolshchikov et Buga. We do not know if Ivanovskaya had other material from Taymyr that she could diagnose as Aphis verbasci however, plants of genus Verbascum are completely absent from the flora of the region, suggesting the record of this species in Taymyr was the result of an erroneous determination.
