Metopolophium sonchifoliae Raychaudhuri, L.K. Ghosh & Das 1980 = Acyrthosiphon rubi Narzikulov 1957

The description of Metopolophium sonchifoliae, collected on Sonchus sp. and undetermined Rosaceae in Himachal Pradash, India, does not distinguish it from A. rubi, and it was subsequently recorded from a more likely host, Rubus ulmifolius, with an appropriate chromosome number for an Acyrthosiphon, 2n=10 (Pal & Khuda­Bukhsh, 1982).
