Cyrtomyzus pedicularis Gredina 1995 = Myzus (Prunomyzus) padellus Hille Ris Lambers & Rogerson, 1946

The description of C. pedicularis , from Pedicularis resupinata L. in the Russian Far East, agrees well with small specimens of Myzus padellus , which mostly host­alternates between Prunus and Galeopsis but also occurs in summer on Pedicularis and Rhinanthus (Scrophulariaceae) , and is already known from Korea as well as Europe and west Siberia. Cyrtomyzus was distinguished from Myzus by having a gibbous genital plate, but this is also a feature of M. padellus .
