Detailed description of oviparous females and males of Tubaphis ranunculina (Homoptera: Aphididae) with comments on the species distribution

A.V. Stekolshchikov & S.V. Buga

Abstract. Detailed descriptions of oviparous females and males of Tubaphis ranunculina (Walker, 1852) (Homoptera: Aphididae) are given. The most complete data on the distribution of this species are overviewed. Acyrthosiphon (Microlophium) ranunculi Mordvilko, 1914 is considered as a new subjective synonym of Acyrthosiphon malvae (Mosley, 1841).
Key words: aphids, geographical distribution, hostplants, life cycle, Ranunculus, Tubaphis ranunculina
