Trioza kandasamyi Burckhardt, nom. nov. Distribution. India: Tamil Nadu (Kandasamy 1986, as Trioza magnus [sic]). Host plant. Unknown. Comments. Trioza magna (as magnus) Kandasamy, 1986 is a primary homonym of Trioza magna Kuwayama, 1910. According to article 57.2 of the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature (ICZN 1999) a junior primary homonym is invalid. Here we propose Trioza kandasamyi Burckhardt, nom. nov. as replacement name for Trioza magna Kandasamy, 1986 nec Trioza magna Kuwayama, 1910.

Palaeolindergiella thakrei (Mathur, 1973a), comb. nov. Distribution. India: Maharashtra (Mathur 1973a, as Arytaina thakrei). Host plant. Albizia procera, Dalbergia sissoo (Fabaceae). Comments. Arytaina thakrei Mathur, 1973 is congeneric with P. primitiva Heslop-Harrison, 1961, the type- species of Palaeolindergiella to which it is transferred here as Palaeolindergiella thakrei (Mathur, 1973), comb. nov. from Arytaina., Published as part of Burckhardt, Daniel, Sharma, Anamika & Raman, Anantanarayanan, 2018, Checklist and comments on the jumping plant-lice (Hemiptera: Psylloidea) from the Indian subcontinent, pp. 1-38 in Zootaxa 4457 (1) on pages 21-22, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4457.1.1, http://zenodo.org/record/1457537, {"references":["Mathur, R.

Cacopsylla shillongensis (Lahiri & Biswas, 1990), comb. nov. Distribution. India: Megalaya (Lahiri & Biswas 1990, as Psylla shillongensis). Host plant. Unknown. 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. shillongensis (Lahiri & Biswas, 1990), comb. nov. from Psylla.

Ctenarytaina cubicella (Kandasamy, 1986), comb. nov. Distribution. India: Tamil Nadu (Kandasamy 1986, as Psylla cubicella). Host plant. unknown. Comments. Judging from the description of Kandasamy (1986), Psylla cubicella Kandasamy, 1986 belongs to Ctenarytaina. The structure of the head, forewing and paramere resembles that of Ctenarytaina eucalypti (Maskell, 1890). The following new combination is proposed here: Ctenarytaina cubicella (Kandasamy, 1986), comb. nov. from Psylla.

Yangus oblongus (Mathur, 1975), comb. nov. Distribution. India: Assam (Mathur 1975, as Psylla oblonga). Host plant. Albizia odoratissima (Fabaceae). Comments. Psylla oblonga Mathur, 1975 closely resembles Yangus hyalinus in the forewing shape and structure of the male terminalia suggesting the two are congeneric. We propose the following new combination: Yangus oblongus (Mathur, 1975), comb. nov. from Psylla., Published as part of Burckhardt, Daniel, Sharma, Anamika & Raman, Anantanarayanan, 2018, Checklist and comments on the jumping plant-lice (Hemiptera: Psylloidea) from the Indian subcontinent, pp. 1-38 in Zootaxa 4457 (1) on page 16, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4457.1.1, http://zenodo.org/record/1457537, {"references":["Mathur, R.

Cacopsylla ternstroemiae (Kandasamy, 1986), comb. nov. Distribution. India: Tamil Nadu (Kandasamy 1986, as Psylla ternstroemiae). Host plant. Adults were collected on Taonabo japonica (Pentaphylacaceae) which needs to be confirmed as host by the presence of immatures. 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. ternstroemiae (Kandasamy, 1986), comb. nov. from Psylla., Published as part of Burckhardt, Daniel, Sharma, Anamika & Raman, Anantanarayanan, 2018, Checklist and comments on the jumping plant-lice (Hemiptera: Psylloidea) from the Indian subcontinent, pp. 1-38 in Zootaxa 4457 (1) on page 20, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4457.1.1, http://zenodo.org/record/1457537, {"references":["Kandasamy, C.

Euphaleropsis fasciata (Laing, 1930), comb. nov. Distribution. India: Jammu-Kashmir (Laing 1930, as Arytaina fasciata); Pakistan (Hodkinson 1986, as Arytaina fasciata). Host plant unknown. Comments. Arytaina fasciata Laing, 1930 and Euphalerus isitis (Cotes, 1893), from both of which we have examined the types (BMNH), appear senior synonyms of Peregrinivena liangheana Li, 2005 and Euphaleropsis drypetis Li, 2004, respectively, based on the original descriptions (types not examined). The four nominal species are congeneric based on the head structure, the antenna which are less than twice head width, the forewing shape and pattern and the metatibia without genual spine but with 4‒8 sclerotised apical spurs. For this reason we synonymise the two genera and transfer the two species as follows. Euphaleropsis Li, 2004, type-species Euphaleropsis drypetis Li, 2004, by original designation and monotypy = Peregrinivena Li, 2005, type-species Peregrinivena liangheana Li, 2005, by original designation and monotypy, syn. nov. Euphaleropsis fasciata (Laing, 1930), comb. nov. from Arytaina and Euphaleropsis isitis (Cotes, 1893), comb. nov. from Psylla.

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., Published as part of Burckhardt, Daniel, Sharma, Anamika & Raman, Anantanarayanan, 2018, Checklist and comments on the jumping plant-lice (Hemiptera: Psylloidea) from the Indian subcontinent, pp. 1-38 in Zootaxa 4457 (1) on page 18, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4457.1.1, http://zenodo.org/record/1457537, {"references":["Miyatake, Y.

Cacopsylla alaspina (Kandasamy, 1986), comb. nov. Distribution. India: Tamil Nadu (Kandasamy 1986, as Psylla alaspina). Host plant. Adults were collected on Toddalia asiatica (Rutaceae), immatures are required to confirm this species as host. 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 Ossiannilsson, 1970 as C. alaspina (Kandasamy, 1986), comb. nov. from Psylla., Published as part of Burckhardt, Daniel, Sharma, Anamika & Raman, Anantanarayanan, 2018, Checklist and comments on the jumping plant-lice (Hemiptera: Psylloidea) from the Indian subcontinent, pp. 1-38 in Zootaxa 4457 (1) on page 18, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4457.1.1, http://zenodo.org/record/1457537, {"references":["Kandasamy, C.

Palaeolindbergiella simlae (Crawford, 1912), comb. nov. Psylla longus [sic] Kandasamy, 1986, syn. nov. Distribution. India (Hodkinson 1983, 1986): Meghalaya (Lahiri & Biswas 1990, as Psylla simlae complex), West Himalaya (Mathur 1975, as Psylla sp. near simlae). Host plants. Bauhinia purpurea, B. variegata (Fabaceae). Comments. According to Mathur (1975), the female holotype (Zoological Survey of India, Kolkata), the only type specimen of Psylla simlae, is severely damaged. Awaiting evidence to the contrary, we assume that Crawford’s and Mathur’s material is conspecific. Psylla longus Kandasamy, also reported from Bauhinia, shares with P. simlae the body dimensions, the black genal processes and details of the forewing and terminalia, suggesting they are conspecific. Here we consider Psylla longus a junior synonym of P. simlae. Originally described in Psylla, this species is not congeneric with Psylla alni (Linnaeus, 1758), the type species of Psylla. With P. primitiva Heslop-Harrison, 1961, the type-species of Palaeolindergiella, it shares following characters: head weakly inclined from longitudinal body axis; median suture on vertex developed; genal processes less than 0.8 times as long as vertex along mid-line; preocular sclerite absent; basal spine of metatibia prominent; forewing with broad and often short pterostigma; female terminalia long, proctiger cuneate; circumanal ring oval. For this reason, it is formally transferred here to Palaeolindbergiella as P. simlae (Crawford, 1912), comb. nov. from Psylla.

Trisetipsylla eastopi (Mathur, 1975), comb. nov. Distribution. India: Uttarakhand (Mathur 1950, as Psylla cedrelae; Mathur 1975, as Psylla eastopi). Host plant. Toona ciliata (Meliaceae). Comments. Based on the subgenital plate bearing a small process on the dorsal margin on either side, Psylla eastopi Mathur, 1975 is congeneric with Trisetipsylla bengalensis (Mathur, 1975) from India and T. sinica Yang & Li, 1984, the type species of Trisetipsylla, from China. We propose the following new combination: Trisetipsylla eastopi (Mathur, 1975), comb. nov. from Psylla., Published as part of Burckhardt, Daniel, Sharma, Anamika & Raman, Anantanarayanan, 2018, Checklist and comments on the jumping plant-lice (Hemiptera: Psylloidea) from the Indian subcontinent, pp. 1-38 in Zootaxa 4457 (1) on page 18, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4457.1.1, http://zenodo.org/record/1457537, {"references":["Mathur, R.

Crytophyllura nigrigenata (Kandasamy, 1986), comb. nov. Distribution. India: Tamil Nadu (Kandasamy 1986, as Euphyllura nigrigenata and Euphyllura nigriantennata [sic]). Host plant unknown. Comments. Based on the description of Kandasamy (1986) Euphyllura nigrigenata Kandasamy, 1986 belongs to Crytophyllura Li, 2011. Within the Euphyllurinae, Crytophyllura shares with Brachyphyllura Li, 2011, Euphyllura Foerster, 1848, Ligustrinia Loginova, 1973 and Syringilla Loginova, 1967 following putative synapomorphy: mesepimeron flat, clearly delimited by a rim. In Brachyphyllura, Crytophyllura and Ligustrinia the vein C+Sc of the forewing bears a shallow notch or kink subapically, which we also consider a putative synapomorphy. Crytophyllura differs from Brachyphyllura and Ligustrinia in the posterior margin of the vertex which is convex rather than straight or concave. Following new combination is proposed here: Crytophyllura nigrigenata (Kandasamy, 1986), comb. nov. from Euphyllura. In the legend to his Fig. 8, Kandasamy (1986: 92) refers to this species as Euphyllura nigriantennata [sic] which is a misspelling.

Host plant. Murraya koenigii (Rutaceae). 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. murrayi (Mathur, 1975), comb. nov. from Psylla., Published as part of Burckhardt, Daniel, Sharma, Anamika & Raman, Anantanarayanan, 2018, Checklist and comments on the jumping plant-lice (Hemiptera: Psylloidea) from the Indian subcontinent, pp. 1-38 in Zootaxa 4457 (1) on page 19, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4457.1.1, http://zenodo.org/record/1457537, {"references":["Mathur, R.

Trioza minor Crawford, 1912, stat. nov. Distribution. Bangladesh (Hodkinson 1986, as Trioza fletcheri minor); India: Bihar (Crawford 1912, as Trioza fletcheri minor; Mathur 1975, as Trioza fletcheri minor), Uttarakhand (Mathur 1975, as Trioza fletcheri minor), Tamil Nadu (Mani 1948, as Trioza fletcheri minor; Kandasamy 1986, as Trioza fletcheri minor); Pakistan (Bodlah et al. 2012, as Trioza fletcheri minor). Host plants. Terminalia alata, T. arjuna, T. catappa, T. tomentosa (Combretaceae). Comments. Crawford (1912) erected Trioza fletcheri minor for a series of specimens which were slightly smaller than the nominal subspecies and which were collected on Terminalia rather than Gmelina. Several subsequent studies showed that the two taxa differ slightly morphologically and in their host plants: T. fletcheri on Mallotus and T. fletcheri minor on Terminalia, respectively. Hodkinson (1986) concluded that ‘there seems no good reason why fletcheri minor should not be recognized as a species separate from fletcheri ’. We agree and raise the former to species level as Trioza minor Crawford, 1912, stat. nov.

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.

Toonapsylla is currently known from a single species, T. cedrelae, which is restricted to India and Toona. Comments. Psylla cedrelae Kieffer, 1905, displays adult and immature characters which place it outside Psyllidae and suggest a close relationship to Mastigimatinae (Calophyidae). As the species does not fit in any of the currently recognised genera, the new genus Toonapsylla Burckhardt, gen. nov. is described here to receive it. Burckhardt and Ouvrard (2012) admitted that their Calophyidae is not diagnosable but estimated that the five included subfamilies are probably monophyletic. Recently, Percy et al. (2018) showed in their molecular phylogeny that Mastigimatinae is not closely related to Calophyinae and, hence, Calophyidae sensu Burckhardt & Ouvrard (2012) not monophyletic. Burckhardt and Ouvrard (2012) defined the Mastigimatinae (Calophyidae) based on immature characters and included the genera Allophorina Hodkinson, Bharatiana Mathur, Cecidopsylla Kieffer, Mastigimas Enderlein and Synpsylla Yang, though, at the time, the immatures of the Neotropical Allophorina were unknown. Recently these were discovered in Brazil on Dalbergia frutescens (Fabaceae) (D. Burckhardt & D. L. Queiroz, unpublished data; NHMB) sharing phylogenetically significant characters (e. g. the presence of one marginal sectaseta on hind wing pad of the immature) with Platycorypha Tuthill, another Neotropical genus. Therefore, Allophorina is transferred here to Psyllinae (Psyllidae). Toonapsylla shares with Bharatiana and Mastigimas the large oval transparent forewings, the robust antennae and the apically expanded metatibia with 7‒8 irregularly spaced sclerotised apical spurs, in addition to weakly sclerotised immatures lacking capitate setae and sectasetae. It differs from both in the presence of long genal processes and the straight basal portion of the aedeagus in the adult as well as the presence of lanceolate setae in the immature. From Cecidopsylla and Synpsylla it differs in the 7‒8 irregularly spaced, sclerotised apical metatibial spurs rather than arranged in a comb on the inner side in the former, and grouped as 1+ 2 in the latter.

Syringilla eastopi (Mathur, 1973b), comb. nov. Syringilla nepalensis Miyatake, 1981, syn. nov. Distribution. Bhutan (1 ♀, Thimphu, 14.v.1972 (Naturhistorisches Museum Basel���Bhutan-Expedition); 1 ♂, 1 ♀, same but 27.iv.1972; 2 ♂, 2 ♀, same but 20 km south of Thimphu, 2300 m, 18.v.1972 [NHMB, dry mounted]); India: Himachal Pradesh (Mathur 1973b, as Euphyllura eastopi), Meghalaya (Lahiri & Biswas 1979, as Euphyllura eastopi); Nepal (Miyatake 1981, as Syringilla nepalensis). Host plant unknown, according to (Mathur 1973b) unidentified plant. Comments. Hodkinson (1986) suggested that Euphyllura eastopi Mathur, 1973b may be synonymous with Syringilla nepalensis Miyatake, 1981. Based on the examination of the female holotype and four female paratypes of E. eastopi (BMNH) and specimens from Bhutan and Nepal (BMNH, NHMB) fitting the description of S. nepalensis, we confirm Hodkinson���s (1986) tentative synonymy and transfer the former to Syringilla as Syringilla eastopi (Mathur, 1973), comb. nov. = Syringilla nepalensis Miyatake, 1981 syn. nov. The differences in the paramere shape in the original descriptions of the two nominal species are due to a distortion of this structure in Mathur���s (1973b) description., Published as part of Burckhardt, Daniel, Sharma, Anamika & Raman, Anantanarayanan, 2018, Checklist and comments on the jumping plant-lice (Hemiptera: Psylloidea) from the Indian subcontinent, pp. 1-38 in Zootaxa 4457 (1) on page 13, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4457.1.1, http://zenodo.org/record/1457537, {"references":["Mathur, R.
