We reviewed the diversity and distribution of the gall-forming aphids of the genus Pemphigus developing on poplars in Eastern Siberia. As a result, the checklist of this group was compiled comprising of 13 species distributed in this macroregion that accounts about 29% of the world's known poplar-feeding Pemphigus species.

With the process of urbanization and the development of cities, trees in the urban environment are becoming increasingly important. Those trees represent a habitat and a food source for many organisms, among which insects are the most numerous and diverse. The insect communities inhabiting them frequently differ from those found in the rural environment. However, the transition from rural to urban habitat is rarely sharp, as there are many intermediary habitats that often represent the species rich areas. We investigated how the urbanization gradient affects the black poplar endophagous herbivorous insect community. To determine that, we compared the leaf miner and gallicolous aphid species richness, abundance, and diversity along rural–urban gradients. The research was conducted in 2019, in three cities in Serbia, in rural, suburban, and urban areas. We concluded that urbanization significantly influences the black poplar leaf miner community, while it does not have a significant effect on the black poplar gallicolous aphid community. Significantly lower leaf miner species richness and diversity were recorded in the urban environment, while their abundance was significantly lower in suburban areas. Contrary to most species, Fenusella hortulana (Hymenoptera) reacted positively to urbanization, while Aulagromyza populi (Diptera) and Phyllonorycter extrematrix (Lepidoptera) were not significantly affected. As about 80% of leaf miner species and 40% of gallicolous aphid species still manage to survive in the urban environment, the trees present in the urban environment are important for the preservation of their fauna.

Abstract Here we overviewed the taxonomic diversity and compiled the checklist of gall-forming poplar aphids (Sternorrhyncha: Aphididae, Pemphigini) in the Asian part of Russia. Overall, 20 species, i.e. 18 Pem-phigus and two Thecabius spp. were proven to have distribution in this macroregion. Based on our field study, following seven species represented novel geographical records. Among them, Pem. iskanderkuli Narzikulov is new for Asian Russia as per the record in Tuva Republic, and six species, Pem. matsumu-rai Monzen, Pem. microsetosus Aoki, Pem. plicatus Dolgova, Pem. populi Courchet, Pem. protospirae Lichtenstein, Th. latisensorius Hori, are new for some administrative regions of Siberia and/or the Rus-sian Far East. Pemphigus passeki Börner, Pem. spyrothecae Passerini are alien species for the Asian part of Russia. Eight species, Pem. borealis Tullgren, Pem. bursarius (Linnaues), Pem. matsumurai Monzen, Pem. populi Courchet, Pem. passeki Börner, Pem. protospirae Lichtenstein, Pem. spyrothecae Passerini, Th. affinis (Kaltenbach), were documented in the Asian part of Russia as pests of poplars.
Aim . To identify complexes of gall‐forming insects and mites in the fauna of Dagestan, which, together with other inhabitants of galls, are evolutionarily associated with common plant species and genera. Materials and Methods . The materials were collected in the plains and mountains of Dagestan. Standard methods were used: inspection of plants, search and mass collection of galls; breeding imago and production of preparations of larvae and adults. Results . Assemblages of gall midges (Diptera, Cecidomyiidae), gall wasps (Hymenoptera, Cynipidae), psyllids, aphids (Hemiptera, Aphalaridae, Psyllidae, Aphididae) and gall four‐legged mites (Acari, Eriophyidae) dominate. Additionally, for the fauna of Dagestan, 7 species of 5 genera Eriophyidae and 24 species of 12 genera of insects were identified, including 16 species of 7 genera Cecidomyiidae. Newly recorded for the fauna of Russia are 3 species of 2 genera of mites and 13 species of 8 genera of gall midges: Aceria labiatiflorae (Thomas), A. thomasi (Nalepa), Paraphytoptus chondrillae (Canestrini), Contarinia cardariae Fedotova, C. desertorum Marikovskij, Arthrocnodax chondrillaphylus Fedotova, A. saliciphilus Fedotova, A. origani Fedotova, A. thymiphilus Fedotova, Ozirhincus longicollis Rondani, Dasineura scorzonerifloris Fedotova, Jaapiella chondrillae Skuhravá, Spurgia seguierianae Fedotova, Euphorbomyia loewii (Mik), Marikovskiana dentipes Marikovskij. Larvae of predatory gall midges are almost always found in mite galls. Conclusion . Information about the diversity of gall‐forming complexes in Dagestan will be useful for assessing evolutionary relationships between them and plants and will give an idea of the richness of the fauna in the organisation of protected natural areas and recreational zones.
