Abstract
The genus Aleurodaphis van der Goot is reviewed. One new species Aleurodaphis sinojackiae Qiao & Ji-
ang, sp. n. on Sinojackia xylocarpa from Jiangsu and Zhejiang, China is described. Aleurodaphis sinisalicis
Zhang, 1982 is synonymised with A. blumeae van der Goot, 1917. Keys to species, morphological descrip-
tion and features of the new species, host plants, and distribution are provided. The specimens including
types are deposited in British Natural History Museum, London (BMNH), Kôgakkan University, Japan
and the National Zoological Museum of China, Institute of Zoology, Chinese Academy of Sciences,
Beijing, China (NZMC).

Introduction
Aleurodaphis is erected in 1917 by van der Goot. He described the species Aleuroda-
phis blumeae as the type of the genus, from Blumea. Its remarkable characters are the
followings, body of apterae is aleyrodiform, frontal horn is absent and wax glands are
arranged along crenulated margin of body. Takahashi studied the specimens from East

Asia, and described two species A. mikaniae Takahashi, 1925 and A. asteris Takahashi &
Sorin, 1958. More than 30 years later, one new species was found from India, A. anten-
nata Chakrabarti & Maity, (1980) 1982 and one new species was reported in China, A.
sinisalicis Zhang, 1982. Sorin and Miyazaki (2004) reviewed the genus from Japan with
descriptions of three new species, A. impatientis, A. ligulariae and A. stewartiae. After
identifying the specimens from China and checking the specimens of the genus in British
Natural History Museum, one new species, A. sinojackiae Qiao & Jiang, sp. n. is found,
and A. sinisalicis Zhang, 1982 is synonymised with A. blumeae van der Goot, 1917 here.
Therefore, the genus has eight known species in the world (Remaudière and Remaudière
1997; Sorin and Miyazaki 2004), including the new species described here.
Material and methods
Aphid terminology in this paper follows Sorin and Miyazaki (2004) and Ghosh (1988).
The unit of measurements in this paper is millimeters (mm). In Tables 1-2, the following abbreviations have been used: Ant. I – IV = antennal
segments I – IV; Ant. V b = base of antennal segment V; pt = processus terminalis; URS
= ultimate rostral segment; Hind T & F = hind trochanter & femur; 2HTs = second
hind tarsal segment. Specimen depositories. The holotype and some paratypes of the new species are
deposited in British Natural History Museum, London (BMNH), while the other
paratypes in the National Zoological Museum of China, Institute of Zoology, Chinese
Academy of Sciences, Beijing, China (NZMC) and Kôgakkan University, Japan. All
the other specimens studied are deposited in BMNH and NZMC.

Type species. Aleurodaphis blumae van der Goot, 1917. Diagnosis. Body oval and flat. In apterous females: body aleyrodiform, absence
of frontal horns, and wax glands arranged along the crenulated margin of body. Head
and prothorax, meso- and metathorax, abdominal tergites I–VII fused, respective-
ly; only abdominal tergite VIII free; antennae 4 or 5-segmented, primary rhinaria

small and ciliated; eyes with 3 facets. Dorsal setae fine and sparse. Rostrum reach-
ing mid-coxae, at most hind coxae. Ultimate rostral segment obviously longer than
second hind tarsal segment. Legs short; first tarsal chaetotaxy: 2–4, 2–4, 2–4; dorsal-
apical setae on second hind tarsal segments with funnel-shaped apex. Siphunculi
ring-shaped. Cauda knobbed and anal plate bilobed. In alate viviparous females: an-
tennae 5-segmented, with secondary rhinaria near ring-shaped, without cilia; eyes
normal; first tarsal chaetotaxy: 4, 4, 4, sometimes 3 or 2; fore wings with media once
branched, pterostigma extended and two cubitus fused or separated at base; hind
wings with two obliques.
Host plants. The range of host plants in Aleurodaphis is quite wide, including
Compositae (Aster, Blumea, Carpesium, Chrysanthemum, Kalimeris, Ligularia, Pa ra-
senecio, Senecio), Balsaminaceae (Impatiens), Gramineae (Bambusa), Moraceae (Ficus),
Plantaginaceae (Plantago), Scrophulariaceae (Mazus), Styracaceae (Sinojackia), Theace-
ae (Stewartia), Verbenaceae (Callicarpa) and Violaceae. Biology. Five species, A. asteris, A. blumeae, A. impatientis, A. ligulariae and A.
mikaniae, mainly feeding on Compositae species, have monoecious and anholocyclic
life cycle. A. sinojackiae Qiao & Jiang, sp. n. and A. stewartiae can form galls on the
leaves of the primary host plants, but their secondary hosts are unknown. The details of
A. antennata were unreported (Ghosh 1988; Blackman and Eastop 1994, 2006; Sorin
and Miyazaki 2004). Distribution. China, Japan, India and Indonesia.

Comments. The type specimens of Aleurodaphis sinisalicis Zhang, 1982 were checked,
including 48 apterous viviparous females, 25 July 1963, Sichuan (Guanxian County),
No. Y0399, on Salix sp., coll. G. X. Zhang and T. S. Zhong. The result confirmed the
queries of Blackman and Eastop (1994) and Remaudière and Remaudière (1997) that
A. sinisalicis (Fig. 2) was a synonym of A. blumeae (Fig. 1).
Li-Yun Jiang & Ge-Xia Qiao / ZooKeys 135: 41–56 (2011) 46
The original descriptions of Aleurodaphis sinisalicis Zhang, 1982 were accurate, but
the morphological characters of A. blumeae in his diagnosis were wrong. Perhaps, this is
the main reason why Zhang (1992) described it as a new species. In the original descrip-
tions of Aleurodaphis sinisalicis Zhang, 1982, the diagnosis was: the ratio of body length
to antennae length was 4.70 (A. blumeae: 2.70), the base of cauda restricted (A. blumeae:
not restricted), and the anal plate bilobed (A. blumeae: not bilobed). Actually, the mor-
phological characters of A. blumeae in this diagnosis were inaccurate. In A. blumeae,
the ratio of body length to antennae length was 4.80 instead of 2.70, the base of cauda
restricted instead of not restricted, and the anal plate bilobed instead of not bilobed. The host plant of A. sinisalicis, Salix sp., is perhaps mis-recorded.

It can infest Blumea on stems and undersides of young leaves, causing slight leaf-curl
(Calilung 1967). Distribution. China, Japan, Korea, Indonesia, Malaysia and Philippine.

Biology. The species is viviparous throughout the year on Impatiens spp. Alate
viviparous females appear in the latter part of September. Adult apterous viviparous
females pass the winter on the stalks near and just below the ground level. The hiber-
nated adult females move to the seedlings and start to feed on the leaves and stalks in
mid-April (Sorin and Miyazaki 2004). Distribution. Japan (Sorin and Miyazaki 2004).

stem, as well as on the flower stalk at the tips of the host plant shoots. The alate vivipa-
rous females appear in the latter part of September. Adult apterous viviparous females
pass the winter on the basal part of the stem just below the ground level and on fallen
leaves in the ground litter (Sorin and Miyazaki 2004). Distribution. Japan (Sorin and Miyazaki 2004).
