Host plant. Unknown.
Comments. Cacopsylla nasuta is a poorly documented species. HORVÁTH (1904) described it from one female from Przevalsk (Kyrgyzstan) without host plant data. The species has not been recorded since. The male specimens from Afghanistan match ŠULC’ s (1913) redescription of the holotype of C. nasuta, particularly the coloration, the long genal processes and the forewing shape, venation and membrane spinulation. They differ in the smaller body size (total body length from head to forewing apex: 2.9–3.2 mm, compared to 3.7 mm as reported by Šulc) which may, however, be sexual dimorphism. Male terminalia of a specimen from Afghanistan are illustrated in Figs. 10–12. Cacopsylla nasuta may be related to C. hippophaes (Foerster, 1848) along with several Palaearctic species associated with Hippophae and Elaeagnus (Elaeagnaceae) (see BURCKHARDT & ÖNUÇAR 1993). BAEVA (1985) considers C. nasuta as a junior synonym of C. hippophaes which is not followed here.
