Xerobion tashevella (Eastop & Hille Ris Lambers 1976) = Xerobion cinae (Nevsky 1928)

X. tashevella is a replacement name given to Brachyunguis lambersi Tashev by Eastop and Hille Ris Lambers (1976) when they transferred it to Aphis (Absinthaphis). Kadyrbekov (2001b) subsequently placed this Artemisia ­feeding species in Xerobion . Tashev (1964) provided a detailed description, and we cannot find any characters to distinguish between his species, described from Bulgaria, and X. cinae, described from Central Asia and subsequently recorded from Moldova and eastward as far as Kashmir.
