Australian genera of the family psyllidae (Hemiptera: Homoptera)

Abstract

An examination has been made of Froggatt's type specimens of Psyllidae, and an attempt made to bring his classification of the family into line with world fauna. All other genera known to occur in Australia are included in this revision. Species assigned to Rhinocola and Aphalara by Froggatt are now placed in Creiis Scott, Eucalyptolyma Froggatt, Cardiaspina Crawford, Ctenurytaina Ferris & Klyver, Spondyliaspis Signoret, and two new genera. Species placed in the genus Psylla Geoffroy by Froggatt are left undisturbed for the present, except that a new genus is erected for one species. Two new genera have been erected to receive the bulk of the species placed in Trioza Forster by Froggatt.
