Psylla (Cacopsylla) peninsularis hanlasanensis KWON, 1983: 46, SYNONYMISED BY PARK, 1996: 272. Cacopsylla (Hepatopsylla) sorbicoccinea INOUE, 2004A: 409, syn. nov.

Material examined. South Korea: 1 ♀ paratype of Psylla (Cacopsylla) peninsularis, GB, Mt. Palgongsan, 27.v.1981 (Y. J. Kwon) (NHMB); 1 ♀ paratype of Psylla (Cacopsylla) peninsularis hanlasanensis, JJ, Mt. Hanlasan, 23.vii.1981 (Y. J. Kwon) (NHMB).— South Korea (GB, GG, GW) (NHMB, SNU), Japan (SNU).

Host plant. Sorbus alnifolia (Sieb. & Zucc.) K. Koch (Rosaceae), confirmed by the presence of immatures.

Comments. The comparison of paratypes of Cacopsylla peninsularis and C. peninsularis hanlasanensis with Japanese specimens of C. sorbicoccinea showed that the three taxa are conspecific. For this reason, we synonymise C. sorbicoccinea with C. peninsularis. We also confirm the synonymy of C. peninsularis hanlasanensis with the latter suggested by Park (1996).
