JENSEN ANDREW S.

Abstract

A new species of Macrosiphum Passerini is described based on all life cycle morphs: fundatrix, apterous and alate viviparae, oviparae, and males. Macrosiphum ginajo lives throughout the growing season on glandular–sticky species of Silene (Caryophyllaceae) in dry forest habitats of western North America. The new species is compared to other Macrosiphum known to feed on Silene. A very similar species, Macrosiphum aetheocornum, which feeds on native Geranium species in similar habitats, is also discussed including measurements, illustrations, and detailed comparison to the new species.
