A new species of the genus Metopolophium Mordvilko, 1914 (Hemiptera: Aphididae: Aphidinae: Macrosiphini) is described and illustrated. Apterous and alate viviparous females, oviparous females, and apterous males of Metopolophium rogeri sp. nov. on Rosa beggeriana (Rosaceae) are collected from Kerman Province, Iran. The new species is morphologically most similar to M. alpinum Hille Ris Lambers, 1966, but is characterized by the low ratio of processus terminalis to basal segment of antennal segment VI, high ratio of siphunculus to cauda length and the presence of many more accessory setae on the ultimate rostral segment. This holocyclic aphid is monoecious and not attended by ants. The biometric data are given, and the key to the aphids associated with Rosa species in Blackman and Eastop (2021) is modified to accommodate the new species.
描述并图示了一个新的 Metopolophium Mordvilko,1914 属种(半翅目:蚜科:蚜亚科:大蚜族)。无翅和有翅胎生雌性、卵生雌性和无翅雄性的 Metopolophium rogeri sp. nov. 在蔷薇 beggeriana(蔷薇科)上被采集于伊朗克尔曼省。新种在形态上与 M. alpinum Hille Ris Lambers,1966 最为相似,但具有以下特征:触角节 VI 的端突与基段的比例较低,虹吸管与尾长的比例较高,以及在最后一个额段上存在更多的附加刚毛。这种全周期蚜虫是雌雄同体的,没有蚂蚁伴随。给出了生物测量数据,并对 Blackman 和 Eastop(2021)中与蔷薇属相关的蚜虫进行了修改,以适应新种。
