E-mail: [email protected] 2Department of Life Sciences, The Natural History Museum, Cromwell Road, London SW7 5BD, UK. E-mail: [email protected] Abstract A revised classification for the world jumping plant-lice (Hemiptera: Psylloidea) is presented comprising all published family and genus-group names. The new classification consists of eight families: Aphalaridae, Carsidaridae, Calophy- idae, Homotomidae, Liviidae, Phacopteronidae, Psyllidae and Triozidae. The Aphalaridae, Liviidae and Psyllidae are redefined, 20 family-group names as well as 28 genus-group names are synonymised, and one replacement name is proposed [Sureaca nomen nov., for Acaerus Loginova, 1976]. Forty two new species combinations are proposed re- sulting from new genus-group synonymies and a replacement name. One subfamily and three genera are considered taxa incertae sedis, and one genus a nomen dubium. Finally eight unavailable names are listed (one family-group and seven genus-group names). Key words: Psyllids, classification, diagnosis, systematics, taxonomy, new taxa, synonymy. Introduction Jumping plant-lice have lately shifted into general awareness as vectors of serious plant diseases, as economically important pests in agriculture and forestry and as potential control organisms of exotic invasive plants. Diaphorina citri Kuwayama which transmits the causal agent of huanglongbing (HLB, greening disease) is considered today the most serious citrus pest in Asia and America (Bonani et al., 2009; de Leon et al., 2011; Tiwari et al., 2011).

It was popularized as an ornamental following its introduction into Florida during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The lag period between the introduction of Brazilian peppertree, and its aggressive spread is likely a result of hybridization, natural selection of well adapted genotypes, and release from natural enemies. As its name would suggest, Brazilian peppertree is native to South America, where it is found in Brazil, Argentina and Paraguay.

A leaflet pit galling psyllid,Calophya terebinthifolii Burckhardt & Bas- set (Hemiptera: Calophyidae), has been identified as a potential biological control agent for Brazilian peppertree. However, biological information on the psyllid, including its life history, rearing procedures and potential distribution, is lacking. This type of information is essen- tial when importing an insect for biological control purposes. From May-Aug 2009, field and laboratory research was conducted in Gaspar, Santa Catarina, Brazil with psyllids collected from the Atlantic coastal region of Santa Catarina.

The lack of native close relatives should minimize the risk of damage to non-target plants from introduced biological control agents (Pember- ton 2000). Several exploratory surveys for natural enemies of Brazilian peppertree have been conducted in South America (Hight et al. 2002, Cuda et al. 2006, McKay et al. 2009, Wheeler et al. 2016).
