The classifi cation of the superfamily Psylloidea is revised to incorporate fi ndings from recent molecular studies, and to integrate a reassessment of monophyla primarily based on molecular data with morphological evidence and previous classifi cations. We incorporate a reinterpretation of relevant morphology in the light of the molecular fi ndings and discuss confl icts with respect to different data sources and sampling strategies. Seven families are recognised of which four (Calophyidae, Carsidaridae, Mastigimatidae and Triozidae) are strongly supported, and three (Aphalaridae, Liviidae and Psyllidae) weakly or moderately supported.

    No. 140, May 2004 ISSN 1175-9755 CLEOBORA ALIVE AND WELL IN THE SOUTH ISLAND The introduced eucalyptus tortoise beetle, Paropsis charybdis, has been a thorn in the side of New Zealand eucalypt growers ever since it first caused problems early in the 1900s. Paropsis feeds ravenously on the leaves of certain eucalypt species resulting in growth loss, malformation, dieback, and sometimes death of severely attacked trees. Over the years a number of insect predators or parasitoids have been introduced as potential biological control agents with mixed results, one of the most Adult (above) and larva (right) of Cleobora mellyi successful until now being a tiny wasp, Enoggera nassaui, which found in the Marlborough parasitises the eggs of Paropsis (FHNews 117:1, 130:1).

This insect was deliberately introduced several times into eucalypt plantations in the central North Island, Christchurch, and the Marlborough Sounds during the late 1970s and early 1980s. Although not recovered from the other release areas, Cleobora adults were Cleobora, when only the blue gum psyllid (Ctenarytaina subsequently found overwintering beneath loose bark in the eucalypti) was present. These new insects may provide a more Marlborough Sounds plantation, a mixed stand of Eucalyptus balanced fare for Cleobora, should attempts again be made to nitens and Acacia melanoxylon (blackwood).

To secure such a commitment, potential investors and growers must be confident of achieving high productivity and/or high quality end product. Pests and diseases, and their effect on tree health, can be major limiting factors to tree establishment and performance.

  • ABSTRACT Biosystematics and the Evolution of Gall
    ABSTRACT Title of Dissertation: Biosystematics and the evolution of gall formation in hackberry psyllids Pachypsylla (Insecta: Homoptera: Psylloidea: Psyllidae) Man-Miao Yang, Doctor of Philosophy, 1995 Dissertation directed by Charles Mitter, Associate Professor, Maryland Center for Systematic Entomology, Department of Entomology; and Douglass R. Miller, Research Entomologist, Systematic Entomology Laboratory, Beltsville Agricultural Research Center, USDA This dissertation is a study of the phylogeny and evolutionary biology of gall formation in psyllids of the subfamily Sponclyliaspiclinae, with particular focus on North American hackberry gallers in the genus Pachypsylla. Species in this genus produce a variety of gall types on the leaves, petioles, buds and twigs of their hosts, four species of Celt is subgen. Euceltis (Ulmaceae ). The homogeneity of adult morphology in Pachyp.sylla, contrasted to the great variation in gall morphology and phenology, has led to much difficulty in delimiting species. Chapter I investigates species limits as related to gall type and host specificity in Pachypsylla. Strong differences in allozymes, morphology and life history confirm that leaf, petiole, bud and twig gallers belong to different species or species groups. Different leaf gall morphs probably also represent different species, as evidenced by significant all ozyme freque ncy diffe rences among sympatric pairs of gall morphs, consistent frequency difference between co- occurring morphs across localities, and discrete differences in gall type between progenies of individual females. Differences in allozymes, female phenology, adult and nymphal coloration, as well as laboratory rearings and field manipulations, show that side cell individuals within two nipple gall types represent an inquiline sibling species (Chapter II). Chapter III is an analysis of phylogenetic relationships within Pachypsylla, based on allozyme, morphological, life history and chromosome characters.

Acizzia jamatonica is native to East Asia, and has spread rapidly in Europe since it was first reported from Italy in 2002. It was first collected from Albizzia julibrissin in Podgorica, September 2009, and subsequently from Albizzia sp. and A. julibrissin in Herceg Novi, October 2010, and June and October 2012, and from A. julibrissin in Kotor, October 2012. Glycaspis brimblecombei is native to Australia, and has been rapidly spreading in Europe since it was first reported from Portugal and Spain in 2007. It was collected on Eucalyptus camaldulensis in Bar, October 2012. Both species of psyllid have the potential to damage amenity trees in urban environments and in commercial plant nurseries. KEY WORDS: alien jumping plant-lice, Eucalyptus, Albizzia, Montenegro Introduction Since the 1970s, four alien species of jumping plant-lice (Hemiptera: Psyllidae: Acizziinae) [Acizzia acaciaebaileyanae (Froggatt), A. hollisi Burckhardt, A. jamatonica (Kuwayama) and A. uncatoides (Ferris & Klyver)] have been reported in Europe, feeding on mimosoid legumes, particularly Acacia and Albizia (Fabaceae) (HODKINSON & HOLLIS, 1987; MIFSUD et al., 2010).

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).

E-mail: [email protected] Abstract A checklist of extant species of Psylloidea in New Zealand is presented. The list is structured according to the latest tax- onomic classification of families, subfamilies and genera. It includes 99 species, 71 of which are formally described and named, along with information on the host plants and the natural enemies as aspects that are either species-specific or as- sist in their recognition. An updated distribution of each species is given based on literature records and material held in the major New Zealand entomological collections and databases, including from very recent field surveys. A new record for New Zealand is Phellopsylla formicosa. Key words: jumping plant lice, host plants, natural enemies, distribution, new record Introduction The first psyllids from New Zealand were recorded by Maskell (1879, 1880, 1890, 1894), initially describing Powellia vitreo-radiata from immatures and then adding the six species Psylla acaciae and Rhinocola eucalypti (both native to Australia), Powellia doryphora, R.

Published on September 25, 2020 by Center for Systematic Entomology, Inc. P.O. Box 141874 Gainesville, FL 32614-1874 USA http://centerforsystematicentomology.org/ Insecta Mundi is a journal primarily devoted to insect systematics, but articles can be published on any non- marine arthropod. Topics considered for publication include systematics, taxonomy, nomenclature, checklists, faunal works, and natural history. Insecta Mundi will not consider works in the applied sciences (i.e. medi- cal entomology, pest control research, etc.), and no longer publishes book reviews or editorials. Insecta Mundi publishes original research or discoveries in an inexpensive and timely manner, distributing them free via open access on the internet on the date of publication. Insecta Mundi is referenced or abstracted by several sources, including the Zoological Record and CAB Abstracts. Insecta Mundi is published irregularly throughout the year, with completed manuscripts assigned an individual number. Manuscripts must be peer reviewed prior to submission, after which they are reviewed by the editorial board to ensure quality. One author of each submitted manuscript must be a current member of the Center for Systematic Entomology.
