Radiaphis saussureae Pashtshenko 2000 = Chitinosiphum abdomenigrum Yuan & Xue

1992

In independently recognising a new east Asian genus of aphids feeding on roots and stembases of Compositae, Zhang et al. (in Zhang 1999) and Pashtshenko (2000) overlooked a short paper on a new genus and species on Saussurea nigrescens in China (Yuan & Xue 1992), the description of which agrees closely with that of an aphid described from a plant of the same genus in east Russia (Amur Province). Pashtshenko (2000) provided a key to five species of this new genus.
