Taiwanaphidinae

Taiwanaphis decaspermi Takahashi (1934)

A large sample in BMNH, from Syzygium buxifolium at TLF. Reported from HK by Lee & Winney (1981) and by Tao (1999a), probably based on this sample. Also, BMNH has a single Hille Ris Lambers slide that comprises remounted specimens from a former Takahashi preparation whose original label is on the obverse of the slide: the Takahashi label data are “ Taiwanaphis decaspermi Takah. , 8.iii.1940, Hongkong, R. Takahashi”, and this material is referred to by Takahashi (1941c). PPRD has a single slide-mounted vagrant alata, collected by the authors from Tai Po Headland.

Aphidoidea— Adelgidae

Pineus pini (Macquart, 1819)

A single sample in BMNH, from Pinus massoniana at Tai Lam Chung reserve, is provisionally determined. This species was reported from HK by Tao (1999a) [who mistakenly attributed the species to Linnaeus, 1746] and was also reported from HK by van der Goot (1918) but with neither referring to vouchers.
