Psylla (s.l.) kuwayamai Crawford View in CoL

Psylla tripunctata Kuwayama 1908, p 174 View in CoL (primary junior homonym of Psylla tripunctata Fitch, 1851 View in CoL ). Type locality: Taiwan .

Psylla kuwayamai Crawford 1911, p 432 View in CoL (replacement name for P. tripunctata Kuwayama View in CoL nec Fitch); Miyatake 1963, p 356; Klimaszewski 1973, p 213; Miyatake 1981, p 59; Yang 1984, p 68; Matsumoto 2004, p 276.

Adults of this species possess short antennae, short female terminalia and six to eight apical metatibial spurs. These morphological features do not fit the genus Psylla View in CoL (s.s.) or any other existing genera of Psyllinae . For this reason, I leave this species in Psylla View in CoL (s.l.) until further research including nymphal morphological study. Adult important morphological characteristics of P. kuwayamai View in CoL of Japan were illustrated in Miyatake (1981), and appear to be different from those of Taiwan, which is the type locality of this species, in genal cones and male terminalia (cf. Yang 1984). Psylla kuwayamai View in CoL seems to form a well-organized group with the Neolitsea View in CoL -feeders, Psylla neolitseae Miyatake, 1981 ( Nepal) View in CoL and Psylla deflua Yang, 1984 (Taiwan) View in CoL .

Distribution. Japan (Honshu, Shikoku, Kyushu), Taiwan.

Host plant. Neolitsea sericea (Bl.) Koidz. (= Litsea glauca Sieb. ) ( Lauraceae ) in Japan ( Miyatake 1963); Neolitsea parvigenna (Hay.) Kanehira in Taiwan ( Yang 1984).
