Comments.
Trioza fletcheri minor
Crawford, 1912
is a senior primary homonym of
Trioza minor
Tuthill, 1945
from
Mexico
and
Panama
and
Trioza laqueus minor
Kandasamy, 1986
from
India
. According to article 57.2 of the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature (
ICZN 1999
) a junior primary homonym is invalid. We propose following replacement names:
Trioza nimro
Burckhardt
,
nom. nov.
for
Trioza minor

and
Trioza monri

Trioza fletcheri minor

.
Trioza laqueus minor
Kandasamy, 1986
(=
T. monri
Burckhardt
) differs from
T. laqueus
morphologically and in the host range, suggesting that they are two distinct species. For this reason, we raise the former to species status.
