Metopolophium graminum
Raychaudhuri, L.K. Ghosh & Das 1980
=
Metopolophium chandrani
David & Narayanan 1968
The description of
M. graminum
from unidentified
Gramineae
in Himachal Pradesh,
India
does not provide any characters to differentiate it from
M. chandrani
, described earlier from grasses in the same state.
As
both descriptions are of apterae with an unusually high number of rhinaria on antennal segment III, it is extremely likely that they are conspecific.
