Description
Aphis vitellinae Hartig, 1841: 369. SYNTYPES: 3 (1706 [7.04]; 1708 [7.06] lost; 1752 [7.05] lost), Salix viminalis.
Aphis vitellinae Schrank, 1801 (senior primary homonym— Hottes, 1930a: 184).
Tuberolachnus salignus (Gmelin, 1789) (senior synonym—Börner, 1952: 45). Valid
Specimens. A single pointed alate (1706) collected in 1836. Two other pointed specimens (1708 and 1752) lost. Hartig’s notes for 1706 and 1708 indicate the specimens were collected with sawfly galls between September 10 and October 1, 1836. Specimen 1752 was collected with galls on Salix viminalis between October 15 and November 1, 1836.
Remarks. The specimen is not in agreement with the current use of the name T. salignus. It is black and hairless with red legs and black tarsi, as Hartig (1841) described. Börner (1952) recognized the synonymy but again likely without having seen Hartig’s specimens or providing a justification so the synonymy is probably incorrect.As discussed by Hottes (1930a), Aphis vitellinae [= Chaitophorus vitellinae] Schrank, 1801 has priority over Aphis vitellinae Hartig 1841 so the latter may require a replacement name if its synonymy with T. salignus is not supported and there are no other available synonyms.
