Apart from  U. lebanonense, it is also similar to  U. pilosellae, which also has 3:3:3 setae on HT I.  Uroleucon mongolicumcan be distinguished easily from  U. pilosellaeby the fragmented antesiphuncular sclerites, which may be developed as two or three small sclerites in contrast to the large, crescent–shaped and very well developed presiphuncular sclerites in  U. pilosellae. Outside Mongolia,  U. mongolicumhas been reported from Koreaand the Russian far east (as  U. mongolicum cardui) ( Pashchenko 2000; Blackman & Eastop 2020).   FIGURE 4.
