Piceaphis Zhang, Chen, Zhong & Li 1999

Description

Piceaphis Zhang, Chen, Zhong & Li 1999 = Macrosiphoniella Del Guercio

The holotype of Piceaphis piceaphis, described from Picea sp. in NW China (Zhang et al. 1999), has been examined and found to be a Macrosiphoniella, close to M. nitida Börner which feeds on Artemisia. Although Picea is unlikely to be a normal host, it is of interest to note that the somewhat similar species M. sejuncta, an Achillea feeder, was also originally described from a conifer, Cedrus libani (as Larix cedrus; Walker 1848).
