Abstract

SummaryThe hitherto unknown oviparous females and alate males of M. dzhibladzeae Barjadze, 2010, living on Euphorbia macroceras Fish. & Mey. and Euphorbia sp. (Euphorbiaceae), are described from resort Bakhmaro (Chokhatauri district, Guria region, Western Georgia). The life cycle of this species is established. Apterous and alate viviparous females and oviparous females of M. dzhibladzeae are compared to the same morphs of morphologically similar M. meixneri Börner, 1950. A key is provided to Euphorbia-feeding Macrosiphum spp. based on males.
