Bipersona hottesi
Knowlton & Smith 1936
=
Eomacrosiphum nigromaculosum
(Mac Dougall 1926)
E. nigromaculosum
is a very distinctive species occurring on stems of wild and cultivated
Rosa
spp. in western N
America
. Apterae are bright red with black dorsal abdominal bands or patches, black SIPH held at rightangle to body, and black and yellow legs. We can find no significant differences between this species and the description of
Bipersona hottesi
, found on wild
Rosa
in Utah, other than the twisted cauda of the latter, so assume that this was an artefact of the mounting process.
