The classification of the superfamily Psylloidea is revised to incorporate findings from recent molecular studies, and integrate a reassessment monophyla primarily based on data with morphological evidence previous classifications. We reinterpretation relevant morphology in light discuss conflicts respect different sources sampling strategies. Seven families are recognised which four (Calophyid...

Developing efficient sampling protocols is essential to monitor crop pests. One vector of the citrus disease HLB, African psyllid Trioza erytreae Del Guercio, 1918 (Hemiptera: Triozidae), currently threatens lemon industry throughout Mediterranean region. In this work, a pool methods devoted monitoring population T. was compared, its spatial distribution in orchard assessed, and minimum effort ...

Carsonella ruddii (Gamma Proteobacterium) is an obligate bacterial endosymbiont of psyllids that produces essential amino acids that are lacking in the insect's diet. Accurate estimations of Carsonella populations are important to studies of Carsonella-psyllid interactions and to developing ways to target Carsonella for control of psyllid pests including pear psylla, Cacopsylla pyricola (Förste...
