Remarks: This species has been described thoroughly by Holman (1975) from apterous ( Fig. 1b View FIGURE 1 ) and alate viviparous ( Fig. 1d View FIGURE 1 ) females collected by Henryk Szelegiewicz from three localities in Northern Mongolia. Apart from U. lebanonense , it is also similar to U. pilosellae , which also has 3:3:3 setae on HT I. Uroleucon mongolicum can be distinguished easily from U. pilosellae by the fragmented antesiphuncular sclerites, which may be developed as two or three small sclerites in contrast to the large, crescent–shaped and very well developed presiphuncular sclerites in U. pilosellae . Outside Mongolia, U. mongolicum has been reported from Korea and the Russian far east (as U. mongolicum cardui ) ( Pashchenko 2000; Blackman & Eastop 2020).
