New Find of Aphidoletes aphidimyza Rond. (Diptera: Cecidomyiidae) in the Arctic Zone of Murmansk Oblast

摘要

The natural population of Aphidoletes aphidimyza Rond. is a new species for the fauna of the Arctic zone of Russia. It was found in 2017 on the territory of Murmansk oblast in the arboretum of the Polar-Alpine Botanical Garden on plants of the genus Rosa L. The invasion was facilitated by the accidental introduction of an entomophage with planting material for replenishment of collections. A self-reproducing the population was formed outside the natural range.
