In a study of male alary dimorphism, clones of pea aphid, Acyrthosiphon pisum (Harris), were collected five times over two seasons in one location and once each from three other latitudes in the Great Plains region of North America. All clones produced some males when subjected to a short photoperiod (L14:D10 or L13:D11) at 20.degree.C. The presence of three distinct classes of clones based on the morph of males they produced (apterous only; alate only; apterous and alate in equal proportions) provides evidence for a genetic basis for the dimorphism. the relative frequencies of clones producing only apterous males varied geographically, providing some evidence to support the hypothesis that populations are not panmictic over the Great Plains region.
