Jumping plant lice (Hemiptera: Psylloidea) are considered important vectors of plant diseases and also economically important pests in agriculture and forest ecosystems. Three psyllid species Loginova, 1963, Loginova, 1963, and Loginova, 1963 associated with the ash tree are morphologically very similar. So far, their distinction has been possible only by comparing their male and female genitalia. In this research, forewing shape and size characteristics, sexual dimorphism and their allometric effects, using geometric morphometric analysis, were examined for identification purposes. The results showed significant differences in wing shape and size between the species studied. Based on the results, two species P. m and can be differentiated with the vein M1+2, as in the vein M1+2 is located between Rs and M3+4 veins, but the vein M1+2 is closer to the vein M3+4 in ; also, can be differentiated from the two species and by vein M. Hence, the veins M1+2, M3+4, Rs and M were the most important wing characters for discrimination of the three species, especially in the field. The analysis also showed significant differences in wing shape and size between male and female of the three species, and the allometric analysis showed that significant shape differences still remain in constant size in P. m and . Geometric changes in the forewings of both sexes for the three species are illustrated.
跳小蝽（半翅目：木虱总科）被认为是植物病害的重要传播媒介，也是农业和森林生态系统中具有经济重要性的害虫。三种与白蜡树相关的木虱物种（洛吉诺娃，1963年；洛吉诺娃，1963年；洛吉诺娃，1963年）在形态上非常相似。到目前为止，只有通过比较它们的雄性和雌性生殖器才能区分它们。在这项研究中，为了识别目的，使用几何形态测量分析研究了前翅形状和大小特征、两性异形及其异速生长效应。结果表明，所研究的物种之间在前翅形状和大小上存在显著差异。根据结果，物种P. m和[此处原文缺失物种名]可以通过M1+2脉来区分，如在[此处原文缺失物种名]中M1+2脉位于Rs和M3+4脉之间，但在[此处原文缺失物种名]中M1+2脉更靠近M3+4脉；此外，[此处原文缺失物种名]可以通过M脉与另外两个物种[此处原文缺失物种名]和[此处原文缺失物种名]区分开来。因此，M1+2脉、M3+4脉、Rs脉和M脉是区分这三个物种最重要的翅部特征，尤其是在野外。分析还表明，这三个物种的雄性和雌性在前翅形状和大小上存在显著差异，异速生长分析表明，在P. m和[此处原文缺失物种名]中，即使在恒定大小下仍存在显著的形状差异。文中还展示了这三个物种两性前翅的几何变化。
