Cacopsylla malivorella [Matsumura in (Sasaki)] comb. nov.

Psylla malivorella Matsumura in [Sasaki] 1915, p 301 ( Psylla malirorella [sic] Mats.); Matsumura 1917, p 372; Sasaki 1954, p 35: Miyatake 1963, p 344; Klimaszewski 1973, p 214; Konovalova 1988, p 525; Matsumoto 2004, p 278; Labina 2006, p 55. Type locality: Japan (Honshu).

This species was published for the first time under the name “ Psylla malirorella Mats. ” by [Sasaki] (1915) anonymously (see Miyatake 1963). However, the specific name “ malivorella ” has been used in Matsumura (1917), who was considered to have been responsible for this scientific name (ICZN recommendation 51E; International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature 2000), and also in subsequent taxonomic literature (see above synonymies). Therefore, in the present paper, the name “ malivorella ” was adopted as a prevailing usage (ICZN article 33.3.1).

Distribution. Japan (Honshu, Kunashiri Island), Russian Far East (Southern Primorsky).

Host plants. Malus domestica Borkh. (= Malus pumila Mill. ) ( Rosaceae ) ([Sasaki] 1915) and Malus sieboldii Rehd. ( Miyatake 1963) .
