Abstract
ABSTRACT: The valid scientific name for the hemlock woolly adelgid is affirmed to be Adelges tsugae Annand. A discrepancy between the names Adelges funitectus (Dreyfus) and A. tsugae in the historical literature is investigated and resolved. The generic (or subgeneric) name Aphrastasia should not be applied to Adelges tsugae, as this species is not closely related to Adelges pectinatae (Cholodkovsky), the type species of Aphrastasia. We propose Annandina subgen. nov. for A. tsugae.
