Comments.
Psylla albopontis
, originally described from
Japan
, is closely related to
Cacopsylla abieti
(Kuwayama, 1908)
with which it was synonymised by Miyatake (1964a). It differs from
C. abieti
in the forewing which has dark patches along the apical and posterior margins rather than completely yellow to brown, the denser setae on the inner face of the paramere and the more rounded, rather angular apical dilatation of the distal segment of the aedeagus. We consider
P. albopontis
a good species of
Cacopsylla
, remove it from synonymy and transfer it to
Cacopsylla
.
Psylla danpunga
Park & Lee, 1982
, and
Psylla moni
Konovalova & Loginova, 1985
display the same diagnostic characters as
C. albopontis
suggesting they are conspecific. We, therefore, synonymise them with
Cacopsylla albopontis
. We have not examined material of
P. abieti
sensu Kwon (1983)
. Judging from the description it is a mix of
C. albopontis
and
C. pseudosieboldiani
(Konovalova & Loginova, 1985)
. The species is associated with several
Acer
spp. (
Sapindaceae
).
