In Bulgaria, adults and immatures were collected on Albizia julibrissin Durazz., which is the only confirmed host plant (Vétek and Rédei 2009, Harizanova et al. 2012).
Distribution

Notes
Acizzia jamatonica is now widespread and causing cosmetic damage on Albizia julibrissin, planted as an ornamental in parks and private gardens in southern Bulgaria and along the Black Sea coast (Harizanova et al. 2012). The first evidence of this alien psyllid species in Bulgaria dates back to 2009 (Vétek and Rédei 2009).
