Extract

Independent discoveries of an Aphid attacking the roots of rice and other Gramineae in different parts of the world have led to its description under different names, and its affinity with other species has sometimes resulted in its confusion with them. The literature relating to the species is reviewed and it is shown that the correct name for it is Rhopalosiphum rufiabdominalis (Sasaki), of which Prunus is the primary host.

What is believed to be a reasonably complete synonymy is given and this involves the sinking of the two genera Yamataphis Matsumura and Aresha Mordvilko as synonyms of Rhopalosiphum Koch because both of these genera were erected with the Rice Root Aphid as type. A species that was described as Yamataphis rhodesiensis Hall differs in too many respects to permit its inclusion in Rhopalosiphum and a new genus, Hallaphis, is erected for its reception.
