Cacopsylla satsumensis (Kuwayama, 1908)

( Fig. 53 )

Psylla satsumensis KUWAYAMA, 1908: 177.

Cacopsylla satsumensis ; INOUE, 2010: 352.

Psylla (Hepatopsylla) truncaticephala KWON, 1983: 70, syn. nov. Cacopsylla truncaticephala ; PARK, 1996: 272.

Material examined. 1 ♂, 1 ♀ paratypes of Psylla (Hetatopsylla) truncaticephala , JN, Hongdo Island, 11.viii.1981 (Y. J. Kwon) ( NHMB) .— South Korea (JJ, JN) ( NHMB, SNU) , Japan ( SNU) .

Host plant. Rhaphiolepis indica (L.) Lindley ( Rosaceae ), confirmed by the presence of immatures.

Comments. The comparison of paratypes of P. truncaticephala with specimens of C. satsumensis from Japan shows that they are conspecific, sharing the brown cloudy pattern in the apical half of the forewing and the host plant Rhaphiolepis indica (L.) Lindl. ( Rosaceae ), not Camellia japonica as suggested by Kwon (1983). For this reason, we synonymise the two taxa here.
