Maerosiphum weberi Borner 1933.
Published here for the first time from Norway.
HOy: Fana: Flesland on Succisa pratensis
11. VII 1954.
The aphids were found on the underside of
the leaves of the host plant. The plant grew in
a very wet place, on the marshy border of a
little lake. The small colony of viviparous
apterous females and larvae were almost down
in the water. The apterae were very dark
purplish-brown, the larvae were greyish-violet
in colour. Dr. H. L. G. Stroyan has kindly confirmed
the identification.
Geographical distribution: Germany, Great
Britain, Sweden, Finland.
