AI Article Synopsis
- A new species of aphid, Eulachnus blackmani sp. nov., has been identified from China, consisting of both wingless (apterous) and winged (alate) viviparous females.
- This species can be distinguished from other Asian species by specific morphological features, including unique rostral segments, larger spinal scleroites, and long setae on tibiae and hind tarsi.
- Eulachnus blackmani is most similar to the European species E. nigricola, making it a noteworthy addition to the predominantly diverse Eulachnus fauna in Asia.
Article Abstract
We describe apterous and alate viviparous females of a new species of the Lachninae genus Eulachnus (Eulachnini) from China. The new species, Eulachnus blackmani sp. nov., can be easily separated from other Asian representatives of this genus: the ultimate rostral segments are without accessory setae; the spinal scleroites are larger than the pleural and marginal ones; there are a few very long setae on the distal part of the tibiae and on the hind tarsus. The new species is morphologically most similar to the European E. nigricola (Paek), and hence unusual within the Asian Eulachnus fauna.

Paper presents the phenomenon of thanatosis or death-feigning in selected aphids species. This specific reaction was predominantly analysed on the example of aphid subfamily Lachninae. Individuals of this group were used in experiments, during which a thanatotic response was induced with various results.

Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) methods were used for the first time to elucidate the external morphology of the European species of the genus Eulachnus (Hemiptera: Aphididae: Lachninae), a representative genus of the conifer-feeding aphids tribe Eulachnini. We examined and compared the external morphology of apterous and alate viviparous females from the parthenogenetic generation as well as oviparous females and alate males belonging to the sexual generation. FE-SEM images based on HMDS and cryo-SEM preparation techniques revealed better image quality than the CPD technique in regard to surface tension and morphological signs of cell deteriorations (i.
