Trechnites psyllae (Ruschka, 1923)
Note: the extreme similarity between
Trechnites insidiosus and Trechnites psyllae
has been noted before, but most authors still
regarded both taxa as separate species based
on subtle differences (e.g. antennal
morphology). However, Guerrieri and Noyes
(2009) were able to show that these
differences are intraspecific variations and
thus confirmed the synonymy of the two names.
