Uroleucon
(
Uromelan
)
adenophoricola
Holman 1975
=
Uroleucon
(
Uromelan
)
adenophorae
(Matsumura 1918)
, but
Uroleucon
(
Uromelan
)
triphyllae
Miyazaki 1966
is a valid species
Miyazaki described
Uroleucon triphyllae
from
A. triphylla japonica
in
Japan
, but subsequently synonymised his species with
adenophorae
Matsumura
, although pointing out differences from Matsumura’s description. Holman, in describing
U. adenophoricola
as a new species, accepted this synonymy. From examination of
paratypes
and other material from Holman and Miyazaki in the BMNH collection it is clear that
adenophoricola
is the
Matsumura species
, and that
U. triphyllae
Miyazaki should be reinstated as a valid species.
