Description
Summary:Myzus sp. Material. 1 fund., No. 10165, Somnitel’naya Bay, patchy lichen-grass-moss tundra on the Southern Plain, 16.vii–14.viii.2006, pitfall traps; 1 al., No. 10166, Somnitel’nye Mountains, wet depression with sedge-moss vegetation at the base of a hill, 14.viii.2006, sweeping. Comments. Only two specimens, a fundatrix and an alate vivparous female, were collected on Wrangel Island. The specific marker of the genus Myzus is the deep frontal sinus with inner faces of antennal tubercles convergent. Since fundatrices and alate viviparous females have a less-pronounced (sometimes, almost unapparent) frontal sinus than apterous viviparous females, the classification of these individuals to the genus Myzus needs additional verification. Both specimens have a 5-segmented antenna and a relatively short processus terminalis—the ratio between the length of processus terminalis to the length of the base of the last antennal segment is 1.30–1.36 in the fundatrix, and 1.69–1.87 in the alate vivparous female.
