Comments

The Euphyllurinae as defined here is strongly supported as a monophylum in both mtg trees, morphologically it is, however, more difficult to diagnose. All species included here have immatures with a fan-shaped tarsal arolium bearing an unguitractor. Hosts are, as far as known, Ericaceae (Ericales), Oleaceae (Lamiales), Polygonaceae (Caryophyllales), Rutaceae and Sapindaceae (Sapindales), and Salvadoraceae (Brassicales) . Its present concept, which is not further subdivided into tribes, embraces the constituents of the tribes Euphyllurini (except Neophyllura), Pachypsylloidini and Strophingiini of Burckhardt & Ouvrard (2012), as well as Megadicrania, Peripsyllopsis and Psyllopsis (from Diaphorinini).

The molecular analyses clearly show that the Diaphorinini of Burckhardt & Ouvrard(2012) is polyphyletic though only three of 13 genera were analysed. Of the 13 genera, only Megadicrania Loginova, 1976, Peripsyllopsis Enderlein, 1926 and Psyllopsis Löw, 1879, remain in Euphyllurinae . The other genera are transferred to Psyllidae: Caradocia, Epipsylla and Geijerolyma to Ciriacreminae, Diaphorina and Parapsylla to Diaphorininae, Katacephala, Lautereropsis, Notophorina and Tuthillia to Katacephalinae subfam. nov. and Cornopsylla to Psyllinae .
