Biology:Cerotrioza

From HandWiki

Cerotrioza is a genus of psyllid bugs in the family Triozidae.[1][2]

Description

Among Australian genera of psyllids, Cerotrioza can be distinguished by its elongate forewings (over 3x longer than wide) with extensive brown pigmentation.[3] This pigmentation varies among species and is one of the features used in identification of species.[4]

Species

The following species are known from genus Cerotrioza:[4]

  • Cerotrioza bivittata Crawford, 1918
  • Cerotrioza bridwelli Crawford, 1920
  • Cerotrioza corniger (Crawford, 1919)
  • Cerotrioza microceras (Crawford, 1919)
  • Cerotrioza mukwanensis Fang and Yang, 1986
  • Cerotrioza nigromacula Taylor, 2008

The species C. corniger and C. microceras were originally described in Cerotrioza but were then reassigned to the genus Leuronota.[5] They were later returned to the genus Cerotrioza.[4]
