Multivariate morphometric analysis was used to compare nine characteristics of 47 populations of Myzus persicae originating from two host-plants, peach and tobacco, from 13 localities during 2004, and 34 localities during 2005, in Serbia and Montenegro. Multivariant discriminant analysis showed there to be a distinct discrimination between the populations from the peach and tobacco host-plants. The most important discrimination characteristics are the ultimate rostral segment length and processus terminalis length, which are greater in the aphids from tobacco than in those from peach. This the first indication that in this part of Europe there are two subspecies: Myzus persicae (Sulzer) and Myzus persicae nicotianae Blackman.
