Abstract

The genus Mollitrichosiphum Suenaga from China is reviewed, the diagnostic features of the genus are given, and a key to the known Chinese species is given. Eutrichosiphum alnisuctum Zhang is a new junior synonym of Mollitrichosiphum nandii Basu. Mollitrichosiphum nigrum sp. nov. is described from Meliosma, Ailanthus and Elaeagnus in Fujian and Guangxi, China. Mollitrichosiphum (Metatrichosiphon) rhusae Ghosh is recorded for the first time from China. Some hitherto unknown morphs of Mollitrichosiphum are described. New data on distributions and host plants are reported for the genus. The specimens studied are deposited in National Zoological Museum of China, Institute of Zoology, Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Natural History Museum, London.
