Uroleucon
(
Uromelan
)
adenophoricola
Holman 1975
=
Uroleucon
(
Uromelan
)
adenophorae
(Matsumura 1918)
, but
Uroleucon
(
Uromelan
)
triphyllae
Miyazaki 1966
is a valid species
Miyazaki described
Uroleucon triphyllae
from
A. triphylla japonica
in
Japan
, but subsequently synonymised his species with
adenophorae
Matsumura
, although pointing out differences from Matsumura’s description. Holman, in describing
U. adenophoricola
as a new species, accepted this synonymy. From examination of
paratypes
and other material from Holman and Miyazaki in the BMNH collection it is clear that
adenophoricola
is the Matsumura species, and that
U. triphyllae
Miyazaki should be reinstated as a valid species.
