Epiacizzia neolitseae Burckhardt & Sharma & Raman 2018, comb. nov.

Description

Epiacizzia neolitseae (Miyatake, 1981), comb. nov.

Distribution. Nepal (Miyatake 1981, as Psylla neolitseae).

Host plant. Neolitsea sp. (Lauraceae).

Comments. Psylla neolitseae Miyatake, 1981 closely resembles Psylla kuwayamai Crawford, 1911 in the structure of the head, the hind legs, the forewings and the terminalia suggesting the two are congeneric. The latter was transferred by Li (2011) to Epiacizzia. Pending a revision of the generic limits in Macrocorsinae we accept this change and propose following new combination: Epiacizzia neolitseae (Miyatake, 1981), comb. nov. from Psylla.
