Abstract

The results of biological control explorations for Aphthona spp. on leafy spurge in Russia are reported. One new species is described based on adults and larvae: Aphthona russica, sp. nov. (Russia: Taman’ Peninsula). Distributions and host plants of 10 other Aphthona species are recorded. Aphthona gracilis is reported from Siberia for the first time feeding on Euphorbia virgata, and Euphorbia squamosa is recorded as a host plant of A. testaceicornis for the first time.
