Sportaphis sporta Zhang, Chen, Zhong & Li , in Zhang 1999 = Tenuilongiaphis stata Zhang , in Zhang & Zhong 1993

The type of Sportaphis sporta , described from an unidentified shrub in north­west China, appears to be the fundatrix of Tenuilongiaphis stata , described from apterae on Artemisia . Autumn forms of this species on Hippophae were described as Ceruraphis hippophaetrophis (q.v.), so it is likely that the unidentified shrub was Hippophae .
