SHINING A SPOTLIGHT ON AFRICAN RESEARCH

Afrotropical members of the jumping plant-louse genus Diclidophlebia (Hemiptera : Psylloidea)

Invertebrate Systematics, Volume 20, No. 3, Year 2006

African members of the pantropical genus Diclidophlebia Crawford (Paurocephalinae) are revised. Sixteen species are recognised including three known species, seven new species and six species that are not formally described owing to insufficient material. Adult and last larval instars are diagnosed and illustrated and keys are provided for identification. Five species are associated with Sterculiaceae (Malvales) and one each with Tiliaceae (Malvales), Irvingiaceae/Simaroubaceae (Rutales), Chrysobalanaceae (Rosales) and Euphorbiaceae (Euphorbiales). Host plants of other species are unknown. Possibly monophyletic groups include four species restricted to the Guineo-Congolian region and five species in the Sudano-Zambezian region. © CSIRO 2006.
