Piceaphis Zhang, Chen, Zhong & Li 1999 View in CoL = Macrosiphoniella Del Guercio

The holotype of Piceaphis piceaphis , described from Picea sp. in NW China ( Zhang et al. 1999), has been examined and found to be a Macrosiphoniella , close to M. nitida Börner which feeds on Artemisia . Although Picea is unlikely to be a normal host, it is of interest to note that the somewhat similar species M. sejuncta , an Achillea feeder, was also originally described from a conifer, Cedrus libani (as Larix cedrus ; Walker 1848).
