- Abstract
Three families of Psylloidea are known to oecur in temperate South America, two of which, the Calophyidae and the Triozidae, are revised here. The Calophyidae are represented in temperate South America by two congeneric species on Schinus spp. (Anacardiaceae). The Triozidae include five genera with 35 species on Berberidaceae, Compositae, Euphorbiaceae, Lauraceae, and perhaps also on Myrtaceae, Rutaceae and Ulmaceae. The two largest species groups of Trioza develop mainly on Baccharis spp. and Berberis spp. and form an important part of the temperate neotropical psyllid fauna. Both are taxonomically difficult groups as morphological differences between species are small and intraspecific variation is large. Twenty species are described as new. Four new generic and five new specific synonyms and ten new combinations are proposed. One name is considered to be a nomen dubium. The descriptions of adults are supplemented by information on larvae and host plants. Lectotypes are designated for nine species. Keys are provided for the identification to species.
