Kanturski, Yerim Lee, Jinyeong Choi, and Seunghwan Lee (2018) This
study reports the first record of the oak-feeding aphid species Lachnus chosoni
Szelegiewicz, 1975 (Hemiptera: Aphididae: Lachninae) in the Republic of
Korea. Until now, only apterous viviparous females from the type
material and type locality-Myohyangsan Mountain (The Democratic
People’s Republic of Korea)-were recorded. Apterous viviparous females
of L. chosoni were collected
from Quercus
sp. in the area of Soul National University in Seoul for the first time
in 2016. The specimens, which were collected in October and November
2017, represent the sexual generation of this species. We describe and
figure the hitherto unknown oviparous female and apterous male of L. chosoni for the first time in
detail. Notes on biology and copulation are also provided. Key words: Aphid, Biodiversity,
Lachnini, Morph, Quercus,
Sexuales. *Correspondence: E-mail:
