Capitophorus tanensis Zhang, Chen, Zhong & Li, in Zhang 1999 = Capitophorus rhamnoides Zhang, Chen, Zhong & Li, in Zhang 1999

Paratypes of the two species, both described from Hippophae rhamnoides in north­west China, have been compared. C. tanensis (collected 30.ix.80) seems to be the autumn form of C. rhamnoides (collected 11.vii.86), which has page priority.
