Figs 1 View Fig , 5 View Fig , 6 View Fig ; Supplementary table 1
Apterous viviparous female (n=5).
Colour in life: matt dirty green to olive brown ( Huculak, 1968); pigmentation on slide; head sclerotized, brown. Antennae brown with yellow ANT III and basal part of ANT IV. Femora of legs brown with lighter basal parts, tibiae light brown to yellow with brown to dark brown distal and apical parts and tarsi. Abdomen yellow to light brown SIPH brown with lighter basal part, cauda and anal plate brown to dark brown ( Fig. 1c View Fig ). HW 0.34–0.35 × ANT. Head setae 0.015 –0.045 mm long, 0.60–1.00 × BD III. ANT 0.65–0.67 × BL. ANT IV as long as or longer than ANT V. ANT VI with PT 3.58– 4.27 × BASE. Other antennal ratios: VI:III 2.07–2.11, V:III 0.61–0.67, IV:III 0.67–0.80, PT:III 1.65–1.67, PT:IV 2.04–2.47, PT:V 2.47–2.68. ANT bearing long, fine and pointed. ANT III setae as long as and longer than the width of the segment ( Fig. 5g View Fig ), 0.030 –0.040 mm long, LS III 1.20–2.00 × BD III. ANT I with 4–5, ANT II with 5, ANT III with 1417, ANT IV with 11–12, ANT V with 7, ANT VI with 2 basal setae. Rostrum reaching from hind coxae to ABD I. URS 0.57–0.59 × ANT III, 0.27–0.28 × ANT VI, 0.34–0.36 × PT, 1.29–1.45 × BASE and 1.14–1.19 × HT II. Mesosternal furca robust, fused and wide. III FEMORA bearing long, fine and pointed setae ( Fig 5h View Fig ), 0.025 –0.055 mm long, III FEMORA LS 1.00–1.10 × trochantero-femoral suture length. Posterior seta on hind trochanter about 0.90 × trochantero-femoral suture length ( Fig. 5i View Fig ). III TIBIAE bearing long, fine and pointed setae, 0.050 –0.055 mm long. HT II about 0.50 × ANT III, 0.23–0.24 × ANT VI, 0.29–0.30 × PT and 1.08–1.27 × BASE. Abdomen with small marginal tuber- cles on ABD IV. SIPH about 1.33 × cauda, 0.09–0.10 × BL, and 0.76–0.78 × ANT III. Setae on ABD I–V 0.010 –
0.015 mm long, 0.40–0.62 × BD III. Setae on ABD VI– VIII 0.015 –0.032 mm long, 0.70–0.75 × BD III. Genital plate anterior setae 0.060 –0.070 mm long, about 3.50 × BD III. Cauda with 16–17 setae ( Fig. 6e, f View Fig ).
Remarks: Despite Huculak (1968) gave short descriptions of oviparous females and males in the original description, no material has been found in the ZMPA collection. The alate viviparous females are unknown. Measurements of the specimens examined in this study vary from those given by Huculak in the original description (1968) and in Blackman & Eastop (2019). The differences are maybe due to the fact that Huculak measured more specimens which were not available for us.
Material examined. Holotype: POLAND: Trzebinia , 26 August 1967, on Knautia arvensis, L. Olesiński leg., 1 apt, APH-1469, ZMPA ; Paratype: the same data as ho- lotype, 1 apt, APH-1479, ZMPA , 1 apt, APH-1477; other material: Trzebinia, 01 October 1967, on K. arvensis, L. Olesiński leg., 1 apt. 2651, R621, ZMPA ;
Host plants. The species is known only from K. arvensis ( Holman 2009) .
Biology. It is a monoecious and holocyclic species with sexual generation in October. The aphids form large, ant-attended colonies on the bases of stems on the plant ( Huculak 1968).
Distribution. Poland, Russia ( Holman, 2009). Olesińs- ki & Szelegiewicz (1974) provided that this species was also found in “ Czechoslovakia ” but without existing material it was impossible to determine if it was the Czech Republic or Slovakia.
