Aphalara avicularis ; Lauterer (1982: 138).

Distribution in Korea. CN, GB, GG, GN, GW, JB, JN ( Park & Lee 1982c, as A. polygoni ; Kwon 1983, as A. polygoni ; Lee et al. 2014, as A. polygoni ; Kwon et al. 2016, as A. polygoni ; Cho et al. 2017a; Kwon & Kwon 2020) (NAAS, NHMB, NIBR, SNU).

Host plant. Polygonum aviculare L. ( Polygonaceae ) ( Cho et al. 2017a).

Comments. Older references of Aphalara polygoni should be treated with caution as they may refer to other, closely related species. We assume that Kwon & Kwon (2020) checked the data given by Kwon (1983) under Aphalara polygoni .

Kwon & Kwon (2020) synonymised Psylla artemisifoliae Shinji, 1938 and Aphalara poligoni Shinji, 1944 [sic] (misspellt A. polygoni ( Shinji, 1938)) with Aphalara avicularis without providing an explanation. The two species had been synonymised with Aphalara polygoni auct. nec Foerster, 1848 and are now considered nomina dubia ( Burckhardt & Lauterer 1997b). We follow this use adopted by Psyl’list ( Ouvrard 2020).
