Genera

Homotomidae was a family of small phloem-feeding bugs in the superfamily of jumping plantlice, but recently (2021) subsumed to the subfamily Homotominae Heslop-Harrison, 1958 in the family Carsidaridae.^[2]

Hostplants

[edit ]

The species in this family feed almost exclusively on plants of the Moraceae genus Ficus . The only exception is the genus Triozamia, with its three species feeding on different varieties of Antiaris toxicaria , also in the Moraceae family.^[3]

Systematics

[edit ]

Hollis & Broomfield (1989) propose the following classification within Homotomidae:^[3]

subfamily Dynopsyllinae Becker-Migdisova, 1973^[4]
- tribe Diceraopsyllini Hollis & Broomfield, 1989
  - Diceraopsylla Crawford, 1912^[5] (1 sp.)
- tribe Dynopsyllini Becker-Migdisova, 1973
  - subtribe Dynopsyllina Becker-Migdisova, 1973
    - Dynopsylla Crawford, 1913^[6] (3 spp.)
    - Austrodynopsylla Hollis & Broomfield, 1989 (1 sp.)
  - subtribe Triozamiina Becker-Migdisova, 1973
    - Triozamia Vondráček, 1963^[7] (3 spp.)
    - Afrodynopsylla Hollis & Broomfield, 1989 (1 sp.)
subfamily Macrohomotominae White & Hodkinson, 1985^[8]
- tribe Edenini Bhanotar, Ghosh & Ghosh, 1972^[9]
  - Mycopsylla Froggatt, 1901^[10] (9 spp.)
- tribe Macrohomotomini White & Hodkinson, 1985
  - Macrohomotoma Kuwayama, 1908^[11] (14 spp.)
  - Pseudoeriopsylla Newstead, 1911^[12] (6 spp.)
subfamily Homotominae Heslop-Harrison, 1958^[1]
- tribe Homotomini Heslop-Harrison, 1958
  - Homotoma Guérin-Méneville, 1844^[13] (31 spp.)
- tribe Synozini Becker-Migdisova, 1973
  - Synoza Enderlein, 1918^[14] (3 spp.)
