Acizzia
undetermined sp.
1
Single sample in BMNH, from “wattle”
Acacia
sp.
in West Tai Mo Shan Country Park (NT).
Blastopsylla occidentalis
Taylor (1985)
Two samples in BMNH, one with vouchers also in PPRD and USNM, collected from
Eucalyptus tereticornis
at TLF and from
Eucalyptus
sp.
in NT.
Cacopsylla fatsiae
(Jensen, 1957)
Described from
USA
(
California
) but possibly introduced to there from the Oriental Region. Hosts were given as
Fatsia
spp
and
Schefflera heptaphylla
[=
S. octophylla
] by
Hodkinson (1986)
, who also reported its presence in
HK
. Reported on
Schefflera heptaphylla
[=
S. octophylla
] from
HK
by
Lee & Winney (1981)
. No
HK
material in BMNH.
Cacopsylla schefflerae
(Yang, 1984)
Several
HK
samples in BMNH, all from
Schefflera heptaphylla
[=
S. octophylla
].
Cacopsylla
undetermined sp.
1
(Figs 35, 36)
Two adult males in BMNH, said to have been part of large colony on
Rhaphiolepis indica
. The authors subsequently collected a single adult female and a number of exuviae from the same host at the
HK
Wetland Centre (NT).
Colophorina
sp.
near
hungtouensis
(Fang & Yang, 1986)
comb. nov.
(from
Psylla
).
This species is represented in BMNH by two
HK
samples, from
Phyllodium pulchellum
at the old Tung Chung village (Lantau I.) and from
P. elegans
at Three Fathoms Cove (NT).
Psylla hungtouensis
had been placed under
Colophorina
in the BMNH collection, as a manuscript change resulting from unpublished work on the group by David Hollis (pers. comm.).
Colophorina
-group, undetermined sp. 1
Single specimen in BMNH, from
Dalbergia hupeana
at Lam Tsuen Valley.
Colophorina
-group, undetermined sp. 2
BMNH has two samples from
Dendrotrophe frutescens
, one sample from
Ilex graciliflora
and a single (vagrant) specimen from grass, all appearing to belong to this one species.
Ctenarytaina
undetermined sp.
1
Single sample in BMNH, from
Syzygium hancei
at Tai Po Kau forest (NT).
Ctenarytaina
undetermined sp.
2
Single sample in BMNH, from
Syzygium
sp.
on
HK Island
. It is noted on two slides that this sample is not conspecific with sp.1 above.
Diaphorina citri
Kuwayama (1908)
Three samples, from
Citrus sinensis
and
Citrus
spp
, are in BMNH dry collection, the oldest collected from “orange leaves” in
July 1908
by F. W. Terry and determined by F. Laing—but apparently no slides have been prepared. There is also dry material in PPRD, from
Murraya paniculata
collected in 2010. This species colonises various species and varieties of
Citrus
and
Murraya
. Reported from
HK
by
Lee & Winney (1981)
.
Heteropsylla cubana
Crawford (1914)
Five samples in BMNH, from
Leucaena leucocephala
,?
Albizia corniculata
and an undetermined planted legume. There is slight variation between these samples but
H. cubana
is an exotic introduction from the neotropics and it is unlikely that there is more than one species concerned. BMNH material from
L. leucocephala
at Tai O (Lantau I.) is only dry-mounted.
Livia khaziensis
Heslop-Harrison (1949)
Single sample in BMNH, from
Juncus prismatocarpus
at Wu Kwai Sha, slide-mounted and dry. This record was reported by
Lee & Winney (1981)
, under its junior synonym
L. nigra
Klimaszewski (1964)
.

Livia khaziensis

Paurocephala bifasciata
Kuwayama (1931)
(Fig. 33)
Several samples in BMNH, all from
Ficus hispida
.
Hill
et al
. (1982)
reported this species from
HK
, but as an undescribed taxon. This is the species recorded as
Paurocephala
sp.
by
Lee & Winney (1981)
.
Paurocephala boehmeriae
Mifsud & Burckhardt (2002)
Single large sample in BMNH, from
Boehmeria nivea
on the Po Lin Monastery—Tung Chung path, Lantau I.
Paurocephala chonchaiensis
Boselli (1929)
Single sample in BMNH, from
Ficus pumila
on
HK Island
.
Paurocephala psylloptera
Crawford (1914)
see
Paurocephala
undescribed sp. near
boehmeriae
, below
Paurocephala
undescribed sp.
near
boehmeriae
Mifsud & Burckhardt
Two large samples in BMNH, from
Trema orientalis
. Almost certainly this is the species reported from the same host in
HK
by
Lee & Winney (1981)
as
P. psylloptera
Crawford (1914)
. However, many samples of
Paurocephala
have been erroneously determined as
P. psylloptera
and that species has not been recorded from
HK
(
Mifsud & Burckhardt, 2002
).
Paurocephala
undetermined sp.
1
Single specimen from
HK
present in MMB (Igor Malenovsky, pers. comm.).
Psylla
sp.

hungtouensis
(Fang & Yang, 1986)
see
Colophorina
sp.
near
hungtouensis
(Fang & Yang, 1986)
Syntomoza hsenpinensis
(Fang & Yang, 1986)
This species was listed from
HK
by
Burckhardt and Mifsud (2003)
, the host plant quoted as
Homalium hainanensis
. Two males from
HK
are present in MMB (Igor Malenovsky, pers. comm.).
