Life History and Synonymy of Grylloprociphilus Imbricator (Fitch) (Homoptera: Aphididae)
Abstract
Fagiphagus Smith, 1974, is considered to be a junior synonym of Grylloprociphilus Smith and Pepper, 1968, and Grylloprociphilus frosti Smith and Pepper, 1968, is a synonym of Eriosoma imbricator Fitch, 1851. Grylloprociphilus imbricator (Fitch), n. comb., has American beech (Fagus grandifolia Ehrh.) as its primary host and the roots of bald cypress (Taxodium distichum (L.) Rich.) as its secondary host. The synonymy is discussed and a description is given of the apterous alienicola. Pheidole moerens (Wheeler) and Solenopsis invicta Buren (Formicidae) have been found as ant tenders.Downloads
