Popis: | Alate individuals of the damson-hop aphid ( Phorodon humuli (Schrank)) from colonies maintained on hops ( Humulus lupulus L.) at 20 ± 1°C and 16 h/day photoperiod were gynoparae and not alienicolae. A biometric analysis indicated that alatae purported to be alienicolae in a unique description were more probably reproductive primary migrants. No incontrovertible evidence was found for the existence of an alate alienicolous morph of P. humuli . The varity of the morph (if it exists) ensures that it has no economic importance for hop growers. |
