Comments.
Five nominal species have been reported from
Hedera
L.:
Cacopsylla hederae
(from
Japan
and
Korea
),
C. hederisuga
Li & Yang, 1991 (
China
)
,
C. guangxihederae
Li & Yang, 1991 (
China
)
,
C. toroenensis
(
Kuwayama, 1908
)
(
Japan
, Taiwan) and
Psylla formosana
Yang, 1984 (Taiwan)
.
Kuwayama (1908)
described
Psylla toroenensis
from
Taiwan
on the basis of a single female.
Miyatake (1964a)
, who studied the damaged
holotype
of
P. toroenensis
, reported the species also from
Japan
. In the same paper, Miyatake described
P. hederae
from
Japan
. According to this author,
P. hederae
and Japanese specimens referred to
P. toroenensis
differ in the forewing colour (flavescent in the former and transparent in the latter) and body size, although the terminalia are similar.
Inoue (2003)
observed in
Japan
that the two taxa, in the mean time transferred to
Cacopsylla
, coexist in the same locality but at different seasons, indicating that the two are seasonal forms:
C. hederae
in spring and summer, and
C. toroenensis
sensu Miyatake
in autumn and winter. The presence of seasonal dimorphism is supported by our observations from
Korea
. We therefore consider the two forms conspecific following
Inoue (2003)
.
Inoue (2010)
further suggested that the Taiwanese
Psylla formosana
is perhaps a synonym of
C. toroenensis
. We have examined
paratypes
of the former (NHMB) which differ from Korean material of
C. hederae
in the length and shape of the genal processes, the presence of a dark apex of the clavus, the less densely spaced surface spinules on the forewing and, in the immatures, in the multilayered outer circumanal ring rather than consisting of a single row as in the Korean material. We conclude that there are two species involved, one in
Japan
and
Korea
with seasonal dimorphism, and one in
Taiwan
. We consider the report of
C. toroenensis
from
Japan
by
Miyatake (1964a)
a misidentification of
C. hederae
. We have not seen the damaged
holotype
of
C. toroenensis
but assume that it is a senior synonym of
P. formosana
.
Cacopsylla hederisuga
and
C. quangxihederae
were described from the same locality, collected at the same date and on the same host (
China
, Guangzhou, Jinxiudayaoshan,
800 m
,
13.vi.1982
,
Hedera sinensis
(Tobler) Hand.
- Mazz. [F. Li]). According to the original description, the two species differ from each other in body size and colour, and differ from
C. hederae
in body size and the length of the genal process suggesting they may be similar to the Taiwanese
C. toroenensis
and
P. formosana
. For elucidating the identity of the Chinese and Taiwanese taxa more material including relevant
types
should be examined.
