Description

Melanoplus frigidus frigidus (Boheman, 1846), comb. resurr.

Melanoplus frigidus frigidus: Bey-Bienko & Mistshenko, 1951: 233; Mistshenko, 1952: 425; Mistshenko, 1971: 576; Vickery & Kevan, 1983: 863; Ryabukhin & Zasypkina, 2005: 307; Ermakova, 2011: 20; Ermakova et al., 2016: 126.

Melanoplus frigidus: Miram, 1933: 41; Berman et al., 1983: 345.

Podisma frigida: Miram, 1928: 19; Miram, 1931: 44.

Bohemanella frigida: Ramme, 1951: 18; Vickery, 1984: 18; Haberski et al., 2021: 34.

Bohemanella frigida frigida: Vickery, 1997: 229.

Remarks. The genus Melanoplus Stål, 1873 consists of about 200 species in 27 species groups (Cigliano et al., 2022). The monotypic genus Bohemanella Ramme, 1951 was proposed for Melanoplus frigidus distributed in Eurasia and North America (Ramme, 1951), while Mistshenko (1952: 422; 1971: 577) based on the critical analysis of taxonomic characters synonymized Bohemanella under Melanoplus. Here I agree with such synonymy and again placed frigidus in the genus Melanoplus, where this species forming its own species group frigidus. The nominotypical subspecies has a very wide distribution in Europe, Asia, and North America. In Beringia, it is recorded from Northeast Yakutia, Magadan region, Chukotka, Alaska, Yukon, and the Northwest Territories.
