The apterous viviparous female and alate oviparous female of a new aphid species, Tamalia milleri sp. nov., a representative of a nearctic relict genus Tamalia and associated with Arctostaphylos columbiana, is described and figured in detail from specimens collected in California and Oregon (USA) and deposited in the Natural History Museum, London (UK). The differences between T. milleri and a related species, T. dicksoni Remaudière & Stroyan as well as other taxa of this genus are discussed. The distribution of Tamalia and a key to identification of the known species of the genus are provided.
描述并详细绘制了一种新蚜虫物种——米勒塔马蚜(Tamalia milleri sp. nov.)的无翅胎生雌蚜和有翅卵生雌蚜。该物种是近北极残遗属塔马蚜属(Tamalia)的代表,与哥伦比亚熊果(Arctostaphylos columbiana)相关联,基于在美国加利福尼亚州和俄勒冈州采集并保存在英国伦敦自然历史博物馆的标本进行研究。讨论了米勒塔马蚜与相关物种迪克森塔马蚜(Tamalia dicksoni Remaudière & Stroyan)以及该属其他分类群之间的差异。提供了塔马蚜属的分布情况以及该属已知物种的鉴定检索表。
