Comments.
Among the East Asian
Cacopsylla
species associated with
Acer
spp. (
Sapindaceae
) (Konovalova & Loginova 1985; Park & Lee 1992), two species, i.e.
C. abieti
and
C. pseudosieboldiani
, are characterised by massive, apically truncate genal processes and by relatively broad, yellow to ochreous forewings, lacking a dark pattern except for the dark claval apex and bearing very dense surface spinules, covering the entire wing membrane. The paramere of
C. abieti
is broad subapically, that of
C. pseudosieboldiani
slender.
Psylla koreana
Park (1992)
and
Cacopsylla sieboldiana
Li (2011)
display these head and forewing characters and, in particular the apically slender paramere, suggesting that they are conspecific with
C. pseudosieboldiani
. For this reason, we synonymise them. We have examined specimens from JJ identified by Y. J. Kwon as
P. abieti
that are
C. pseudosieboldiani
. Judging from his description, it appears that the specimens treated by Kwon (1983) under
P. abieti
are a mix of
C. albopontis
and
C. pseudosieboldiani
.
