Euphyllurinae

Description

Euphyllurinae

Gyropsylla zealandica (Ferris & Klyver, 1932)

Distribution: New Zealand: FD, NC (Ferris & Klyver 1932, as Metaphalara zealandica; Dale 1985, as ‘Genus A’ zealandica), NN, SI, SL, WD (Dale 1985, as ‘Genus A’ zealandica).

Host plants: Unknown.

Comments: When describing Metaphalara zealandica Ferris & Klyver (1932) pointed out taxonomically its ‘doubtful position’, but did not provide reasons for including it in the New World genus Metaphalara. Tuthill (1952) cited the species under Gyropsylla, a senior synonym of Metaphalara. After examining the type species of Gyropsylla, Dale (1985) concluded that it was not congeneric with G. zealandica, which is related to Psyllopsis, and instead represented an undescribed genus in the ‘Diaphorininae’ (= Diaphorinini sensu Burckhardt & Ouvrard 2012). This classification was followed by subsequent authors (Burckhardt 1986, 1987; Brown & Hodkinson 1988).

Psyllopsis fraxini (Linnaeus, 1758)

Distribution: Asia, Europe; introduced into North America, Australia and New Zealand: AK, SL (Dale 1985), MC (Dumbleton 1964; Dale 1985); SC (FHDB).

Host plants: Fraxinus excelsior (Oleaceae). In the Palaearctic on several Fraxinus spp. (Ossiannilsson, 1992).

Natural enemies: Ausejanus albisignatus (Knight, 1938) (Hemiptera: Miridae) (Macfarlane et al. 2010).

Psyllopsis fraxinicola (Foerster, 1848)

Distribution: North Africa, Asia, Europe; introduced into North and South America, Australia and New Zealand: MC (Dumbleton 1964; Dale 1985), WI (Dale 1985); CO, SC, TK, WN, WO (FHDB).

Host plants: Fraxinus excelsior (Oleaceae). In the Palaearctic on several Fraxinus spp. (Ossiannilsson, 1992).

Natural enemies: Ausejanus albisignatus (Knight, 1938) (Hemiptera: Miridae) (Macfarlane et al. 2010).
