synonyms

Trioza bupleuri Buhr, 1964.

notes

Buhr described T. bupleuri on the base of a planned, but never actually published, paper by W. Wagner, Inadvertantly, this resulted in the description of a new species. Buhr’s description is valid from a nomenclatural point (he spent a few words on the aspect of the larva), but insufficient for a recognition of the species involved.
