Psyllopsis fraxini agg.

Although Psyllopsis fraxinicola is distinctive, the other ash-feeding Psyllopsis species (discrepans, distinguenda and fraxini) and are hard to determine and in the case of galls and adult females we are advised to record them as the aggregate: Psyllospis fraxini agg. Of the three, only fraxini has been recorded with certainty in Norfolk.


This female was shaken from Ash keys.
