Scale:

1:20 000 000.

Accuracy of map:

It is created on materials of map of natural scale 1:33 000 000.

Projection:

"Alber's Equal Area Conic", 9, 1001, 7, 100, 0, 44, 68, 0, 0.

Basic contents:

Vector map is composed of 3 thematic layers. Zones of distribution and damage are shown by polygons.

Accuracy of the classifier:

The insect area is divided into zones of high and low damage using the published materials (Adashkevich, 1972; Bobryshev et al., 1972; Chechuev, 1973; Ivanovskaya, 1976; Khandybarenko, 1981; Zhukova, 2000; et al.). The zone of high damage includes regions that are characterized by periodical damage to plants according to points 3 and higher; the zone of low damage is characterized according to points 1 and 2 (Drakhovskaya, 1962).

Method of map production:

The northern border has been marked also after the published materials (Shaposhnikov, 1964, 1972; Ivanovskaya, 1976), after materials from suction traps and after results of the analysis of potato spreading (Koroleva et al., 1976). This border coincides with the northern border of main potato-growing zone. Although the insects do not perish at the temperatures 3.3-5°C, wintering only under cover in the northern regions, they need feeding on cultural hosts for successful population development. The species occurs sporadically in more northern regions, even in Magadan. Within the territory of the Former Soviet Union, the aphids are marked widely to southern borders. This species of insects is observed in Amur Region, not found in Primorskii Territory (D'yakonov et al., 1994). The borders of zones of different harmfulness are given, using criteria that have been published by F.I.Bobryshev at al. (1972), N.Chechuev (1973), T.T.Khondybarenko (1981), M.I.Zhukova (2000), et al. The northern border of low damage zone coincides with the northern border of Lithuania, Byelorussia, Smolensk and Moscow Regions, Tatarstan, Bashkortostan. This zone includes Lithuania, Byelorussia, some regions of the European part of Russia, the Northern and Central Ukraine, and also Transcaucasia. The northern border of high damage zone goes along the northern border of steppe zone and northern border of Moldova. High damage zone includes some of southern regions of Russia, the South and Southwest of Ukraine, and Moldova (Lytaeva, 1972; Bobryshev et al., 1972). Harming activity is not marked in Siberia because of low temperatures in winter-spring-autumn period, as well as in Middle Asia and Kazakhstan (temperatures above 30°C inhibit the population development). The vector map of distribution of potato within the territory of the Former Soviet Union has been also used for the correction of damage zones (Koroleva et al., 2003).
