Melanoplus frigidus frigidus (Boheman, 1846), comb. resurr. Melanoplus frigidus frigidus : Bey-Bienko & Mistshenko, 1951: 233; Mistshenko, 1952: 425; Mistshenko, 1971: 576; Vickery & Kevan, 1983: 863; Ryabukhin & Zasypkina, 2005: 307; Ermakova, 2011: 20; Ermakova et al., 2016: 126. Melanoplus frigidus : Miram, 1933: 41; Berman et al. , 1983: 345. Podisma frigida : Miram, 1928: 19; Miram, 1931: 44. Bohemanella frigida : Ramme, 1951: 18; Vickery, 1984: 18; Haberski et al. , 2021: 34. Bohemanella frigida frigida : Vickery, 1997: 229. Remarks. The genus Melanoplus Stål, 1873 consists of about 200 species in 27 species groups (Cigliano et al. , 2022). The monotypic genus Bohemanella Ramme, 1951 was proposed for Melanoplus frigidus distributed in Eurasia and North America (Ramme, 1951), while Mistshenko (1952: 422; 1971: 577) based on the critical analysis of taxonomic characters synonymized Bohemanella under Melanoplus . Here I agree with such synonymy and again placed frigidus in the genus Melanoplus , where this species forming its own species group frigidus . The nominotypical subspecies has a very wide distribution in Europe, Asia, and North America. In Beringia, it is recorded from Northeast Yakutia, Magadan region, Chukotka, Alaska, Yukon, and the Northwest Territories.
