Myzus asterophaga Zhang, Chen, Zhong & Li
Myzus asterophaga Zhang, Chen, Zhong & Li, in Zhang 1999 = Metopolophium dirhodum (Walker 1849)
A slide from the IOZCAS collection labelled as type material of Myzus asterophaga has an aptera of Myzus persicae and an alata of Metopolophium dirhodum. The first description in the published account (Zhang, 1999) is of an alata and clearly applies to M. dirhodum, followed by a shorter description which is applicable to Myzus persicae.
