Phorodon japonensis
Takahashi (1965)
was described as a subspecies of
P. humuli
. The species is holocyclic, overwintering on
Prunus mume
Siebold & Zucc. It
differs from
P. humuli
in having a shorter projection on the frontal tubercle of the aptera. The ratio of the lengths of the ultimate rostral segment and the second hind tarsal segment is larger in
P. japonensis
than in
P. humuli
. This aphid was treated at the species level by
Zhang et al. (1999)
and
Blackman and Eastop (2006)
.
