Abstract

Aspidophorodon (Eoessigia) vera, sp. nov. is described from specimens collected in the Altai Republic on Pentaphylloides fruticosa. Apterous viviparous females are described and illustrated, and biometric data provided. This aphid species is closely related to A. (E.) indica (David, Rajasingh et Narayanan, 1972). Type specimens are deposited at the Institute of Systematics and Ecology of Animals, Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences (Novosibirsk, Russia), the Zoological Institute, the Russian Academy of Sciences (St. Petersburg, Russia), and the Natural History Museum (London, England).
