Resumo: | The green aphid Schizaphis graminum (Rondani) is an important pest of Graminae. Samples of this aphid were collected at three environmentally distinct Brazilian localities, Passo Fundo (RS), Jaguariuna (SP) and Dourados (MS). Alatae and apterous viviparous forms were reared on the BR-35 wheat (Triticum aestivum) strain under controlled laboratory conditions and studied as to their variability in measures of body size and production of progeny. Univariate (ANOVA) and multivariate (canonical discriminant functions) techniques were used to evaluate differences among the three populations. Conspicuous differences between populations were observed in the length of five structures of the alatae and eight of the apterous forms, as well as in offspring production. The greatest dispersion in the length of general structures of the individuals obtained by the canonical discriminant function was for Passo Fundo, where climatic conditions are more severe and where aphids cause the most serious damage to wheat crop.
