Abstract

Apion carrorum Anderson and Alonso-Zarazaga, new species, is described from Plateau Mountain (50.20741° N, 114.52101° W), Alberta, Canada along the edges of melting snowfields at about 2,400 m elevation. This represents the first description of a species of the genus Apion Herbst in North America. It appears that the species is most similar to Apion arcticum Korotyaev, known only from Wrangel Island in the Russian Far East. Candidate species of Rumex L. as the possible host plant for A. carrorum are discussed.
