Cacopsylla lineaticeps (Kwon, 1983)

( Fig. 40 )

Psylla (Hepatopsylla) lineaticeps KWON, 1983: 69.

Cacopsylla lineaticeps ; LI et al., 1993: 12; PARK, 1996: 271. Psylla ginnali KONOVALOVA & LOGINOVA, 1985: 20 , syn. nov. Cacopsylla ginnali ; LABINA et al., 2014: 327.

Material examined. South Korea: 1 ♂, 1 ♀, GB, Mt. Juwangsan, 19.vii.1981 (Y. J. Kwon) ( NHMB) .— South Korea (GB, GG, GW) ( NHMB, SNU) .

Host plant. Acer tataricum L. subsp. ginnala (Maxim.) Wesm. (Sapindaceae) , confirmed by the presence of immatures.

Comments. The narrow forewing bearing an apical, well defined dark band, the male and female terminalia, as well as the host, i.e. Acer tataricum L. subsp. ginnala (Maxim.) Wesm. (Sapindaceae) define this species. Psylla ginnali Konovalova & Loginova (1985) shares these characters suggesting that it is conspecific with C. lineaticeps . This has been previously presumed by Labina et al. (2014) and we formally synonymise the two taxa.
