Extract

Aphids of the species herein described as new can be readily distinguished from all other species in the genus Cinara by the unusual length of the unguis. The feeding site is also characteristic; this is the only species in the genus known to feed on the roots of Pinus banksiana.

The species was first collected in 1956 at Lac La Ronge, Saskatchewan, by B. B. McLeod, of the Winnipeg Laboratory. In 1957 it was found by the authors at Cedar Lake, thirty miles north of Vermilion Bay, Ontario, where observations on the life history of the species were carried out.
