Comments. In the homonymy replacement by Konovalova (1987), two mistakes were made. First, the original spelling of the name, “ Psylla spiraee ”, by Konovalova (1979) makes it actually different from “ Psylla spiraeae ” to which it should be homonymous. Second, Aulmann (1913) had no authority of the name “ Psylla spiraeae ”, which was an unpublished manuscript name by Becker, attached to the type specimen of P. sarmatica , and mentioned by Löw (1882) in the original description of the species. We conclude that “ Psylla spiraeae Becker ” is not an available name, so whether Konovalova’s original spelling was correct or not, it is not homonymous with any name. “ Spiraee ” is here considered as an incorrect latinization, and according to International Code of Zoological Nomenclature, 32.4 and 32.5.1, should be kept.
