On the taxonomy of Korean jumping plant-lice (Hemiptera: Psylloidea) Author Cho, Geonho Author Burckhardt, Daniel Author Lee, Seunghwan text Zootaxa 2017 2017-03-07 4238 4 531 561 journal article 31697 10.11646/zootaxa.4238.4.3 eef4aa32-6fc9-44a7-b1df-ef1b6691fa26 1175-5326 1039072 20A7B437-D92C-4874-AB01-74FFD9153194 Aphalara avicularis Ossiannilsson, 1981 ( Fig. 1 ) Aphalara avicularis OSSIANNILSSON , IN OSSIANNILSSON & JANSSON, 1981: 24. Aphalara polygoni SENSU PARK & LEE, 1982B: 13; KWON 1983: 18, P.P., NEC FOERSTER, 1848: 90, misidentifications . Material examined. South Korea (all identified as Aphalara polygoni ): 1 ♂ , 3 ♀ , GB, Gyeongsan-gun, Hayangeup, 21.v.1980 , 5.vii.1980 ( Y. J. Kwon ) ( NHMB ) ; same data but 2 ♂ , 3 ♀ , 5.vii.1980 ( Y. J. Kwon ) ( NIBR ) ; 1 ♀ , GN, Samnam-myeon , 21.iii.1982 ( Y. J. Kwon ) ( NIBR ) ; 1 ♀ , GB, Cheongsong-gun , Budong-myeon , Mt. Juwang , 19.vii.1981 ( Y. J. Kwon ) ( NIBR ) ; 1 ♂ , 3 ♀ , GB, Daegu City, 22.iii.1982 ( Y. J. Kwon ) ( NIBR ). — South Korea (GB, GN, JN) ( NHMB , NIBR , SNU ). Host plant. Polygonum aviculare L. ( Polygonaceae ). Comments. Park & Lee (1982b) list Aphalara polygoni Foerster, 1848 collected on Polygonum aviculare which suggests that their specimens belong to A. avicularis . Their material was not available for examination for confirmation. Kwon (1983) reported Aphalara polygoni from seven provinces in South Korea , indicating that the host plants are Polygonum spp. Kwon’s (1983: 179, plate XXXI fig. 11) illustration of the distal portion of the aedeagus resembles that of A. avicularis . We examined specimens identified by Kwon as A. polygoni that are A. avicularis . We do not know, however, whether the material listed by Kwon (1983) under A. polygoni contains also A . freji Burckhardt & Lauterer, 1997 , another species associated with Persicaria spp. and Polygonum spp. or genuine A. polygoni which develops on Rumex spp. (Burckhardt & Lauterer 1997). We have not seen specimens of the latter and its presence in Korea is currently not confirmed.
