Cacopsylla longigena Burckhardt & Sharma & Raman 2018, comb. nov.

Description

Cacopsylla longigena (Mathur, 1975), comb. nov.

Distribution. India (Hodkinson 1986): West Bengal (Mathur 1975, as Psylla longigena).

Host plant. Exbucklandia populnea (Hamamelidaceae).

Comments. Originally described in Psylla, this species is not congeneric with Psylla alni (Linnaeus, 1758), the type species of Psylla. For this reason, it is formally transferred here to Cacopsylla as C. longigena (Mathur, 1975), comb. nov. from Psylla.
