Ceruraphis hippophaetropis Zhang, Chen, Zhong & Li , in Zhang 1999 = Tenuilongiaphis stata Zhang , in Zhang & Zhong 1993

Types of Ceruraphis hippophaetropis , described from gynoparae and an ovipara from Hippophae rhamnoides , were examined and agree in chaetotaxy, antennae, rostrum and tarsi with Tenuilongiaphis stata Zhang , described from apterae collected on Artemisia . Host alternation presumably occurs between Hippophae and Artemisia . (See also under Sportaphis sporta .) Types of both nominal species have been examined. Sportaphis sporta Zhang et al 1999 described from an unidentified shrub appears to be the fundatrix of the same species, implying host alternation between Hippophae and Artemisia . Types of all three nominal species have been examined.
