Comments.
In the homonymy replacement by Konovalova (1987), two mistakes were made. First, the original spelling of the name, “
Psylla spiraee
”, by Konovalova (1979) makes it actually different from “
Psylla spiraeae
” to which it should be homonymous. Second, Aulmann (1913) had no authority of the name “
Psylla spiraeae
”, which was an unpublished manuscript name by Becker, attached to the
type
specimen of
P. sarmatica
, and mentioned by Löw (1882) in the original description of the species. We conclude that “
Psylla spiraeae
Becker
” is not an available name, so whether Konovalova’s original spelling was correct or not, it is not homonymous with any name. “
Spiraee
” is here considered as an incorrect latinization, and according to International Code of Zoological Nomenclature, 32.4 and 32.5.1, should be kept.
