Two new palaearctic species of uroleucon (Hemiptera: Aphididae) from the collection of the Muséum National d’Histoire Naturelle de Paris

Abstract

Two new Palaearctic species of Uroleucon Mordvilko (Hemiptera: Aphididae: Aphidinae Macrosiphini) are described. Uroleucon (Uroleucon) teheranense n. sp. is described from apterous viviparous females caught on Lapsana sp. near Tehran (Iran) and Uroleucon (Uromelan) ariegense n. sp. is described from both apterous and alate viviparae caught on Campanula sp. in southern France. U. teheranense is compared with the few species belonging to subgenus Uroleucon that present 3 setae on first segment of tarsi, and with the species included in the key to apterae on Lapsana by BLACKMAN & EASTOP (2006), which is modified. U. ariegense is compared with the species of Uroleucon living on Campanulaceae species, mainly with the species included in BLACKMAN & EASTOP’s key to apterae on Campanula, which is modified
