Myzus (Nectarosiphum) polaris Hille Ris Lambers, 1952

Material. 1 al., No. 10163, the middle course of the Mamontovaya River, a zoogenic mesophytic meadow around an old polar fox burrow, 6.viii.2006, sweeping; 2 ovip., No. 10164, Somnitel’naya Bay, patchy lichen-grass-moss tundra on Southern Plain, 13.vii–14.viii.2006, pitfall traps.

Comments. The apterous and alate viviparous females, oviparous females and males of this species were described on Cerastium alpinum L. from Greenland. Later, it was found in northeastern Canada—Quebec (Payne Bay) and Nunavut (Baffin Island) ( Richards, 1963). The host plant of Myzus polaris in Canada is unknown. Seven species and subspecies of the genus Cerastium were recorded on Wrangel Island; the most common among them is Сerastium beeringianum bialynickii (Tolm.) Tolm ( Yurtsev et al., 2010).
