Abstract

The aphid genus Tinocallis Matsumura, 1919 is reviewed on the Korean Peninsula. In total, 8 species are recognized by adding 1 new species, T. (T.) latifoliae sp. nov. and 2 new records: T. (T.) mushensis (Takahashi, 1925) and T. (T.) viridis (Takahashi, 1929) to its current 5 previously recorded species. In the present paper, all 8 species are illustrated and keyed to the alate viviparous females. A new species description is also given.

Introduction

The genus Tinocallis Matsumura, 1919 is the second largest genus within the tribe Panaphidini (Aphididae: Calaphidinae) with nineteen species of four subgenera, Eotinocallis Quednau, 2003, Orientinocallis Quednau, 2003, Sappocallis Matsumura, 1919, and Tinocallis Matsumura, 1919 (Favret, 2013, Quednau, 2001). Most species of this genus have been described from South-east Asian region (Blackman and Eastop, 2017). However, some of these species: T. (S.) saltans, T. (S.) takachihoensis, T. (T.) ulmiparvifoliae and T. (T.) zelkowae have been introduced to other part of the world (Blackman and Eastop, 2017, Foottit et al., 2006, Quednau and Shaposhnikov, 1988). The species of this genus are monoecious and usually associated with host plants belonging to the family Ulmaceae, although some species have been described from host plants belonging to Betulaceae, Fabaceae, Lythraceae, Juglandaceae, Sapindaceae and Sonneratiaceae (Blackman and Eastop, 2017, Quednau, 2003). Such a wide host plant range is unusual for the subfamily Calaphidinae (Quednau, 2001). All adult viviparae are alate, apterous oviparae and alate males being produced according to seasonal change (Quednau, 2003). The majority of Tinocallis species have conspicuous morphological characteristics. However, considerable seasonal variation of body pigmentation and number of secondary sensoria have caused confusion resulting in misidentification of species (Quednau, 2001).

In the Korean Peninsula, five Tinocallis species have been recorded until now (Quednau and Lee, 2001). Paik, 1966, Paik, 1972 recorded T. (T.) zelkowae (Takahashi, 1919), T. (S.) saltans (Nevsky, 1929), and then T. (T.) ulmiparviforliae (Matsumura, 1919), and T. (S.) ulmicola (Matsumura, 1919) were recorded from North Korea by Quednau (1979). Lastly, Park and Ahn (1994) recorded T. (S.) takachihoensis Higuchi, 1972. From 1999 to 2014, we had collected a large number of Tinocallis samples in South Korea and examined them together with museum specimens of Tinocallis collected in North Korea from 1985 to 1988. Based on morphological examination, we recognized a total of eight species in the Korean Peninsula, adding one new species, T. (T.) latifoliae sp. nov. collected on Zelkova serrata var. latifolia and two previously unrecorded species: T. mushensis (Takahashi, 1925) and T. viridis (Takahashi, 1929) collected on Z. serrata var. japonica. In this paper, diagnostic notes, illustrations and species key to the alate viviparae of the eight species are provided. Description of the new species is also represented.

Materials and methods

Aphid samples were collected in South Korea from 1999 to 2014. Samples were preserved in 90% ethanol for a month, and then mounted in Canada balsam, following the method of Blackman and Eastop (2000) and Martin (1983). Illustrations for each species were taken by a digital camera attached to a microscope (Leica 400B, Leica Microsystems, Germany) at a resolution of 600 dpi. Measurements for each specimen are taken from the digital images by using image analysis software (Active Measure ver.
