| Abstract: | A new species of Mollitrichosiphum Suenaga, Mollitrichosiphumtumorisiphum Qiao & Jiang, sp. n., from Faguslongipetiolata in Taiwan island is described. Siphunculi of Mollitrichosiphumtumorisiphum in alatae are distinctly swollen on the distal part, unlike those of the other known species in the genus. Updated keys to apterous and alate viviparous females of all known Chinese species of Mollitrichosiphum are provided. The specimens studied are deposited in the National Zoological Museum of China, Institute of Zoology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing, China and the Natural History Museum, London, United Kingdom. |
