Psyllids, also known as jumping plant lice, are phloem feeding Hemiptera that often show a strict species-specific relationship with their host plants. When psyllid-plant associations involve economically important crops, this may lead to the recognition of a psyllid species as an agricultural or horticultural pest. The Australian endemic tea tree, Melaleuca alternifolia (Maiden & Betche) Cheel., has been used for more than a century to extract essential oils and, long before that, as a traditional medicine by Indigenous Australian people. Recently, a triozid species has been found to damage the new growth of tea trees both in Queensland and New South Wales, raising interest around this previously undocumented pest. Furthermore, adults of the same species were also collected from Citrus plantations, leading to potential false-positive records of the exotic pest Trioza erytreae (Del Guercio 1918), the African Citrus psyllid. Here we describe for the first time Trioza melaleucae Martoni sp. nov. providing information on its distribution, host plant associations and phylogenetic relationships to other Trioza species. This work enables both morphological and molecular identification of this new species, allowing it to be recognized and distinguished for the first time from exotic pests as well as other Australian native psyllids. Furthermore, the haplotype network analysis presented here suggests a close relationship between Trioza melaleucae and the other Myrtaceae-feeding Trioza spp. from Australia, New Zealand, and Taiwan.

“…However, a different pattern can be observed for Powellia , which is recorded on 11 host plant families across the 30 psyllid species included here ( Fig 1 ). This pattern has been widely observed for triozid species, especially within the genus Trioza from which Powellia has been recently separated [ 39 ]. Within the genus Trioza , 346 species are associated with 154 plant genera and 59 families [ 6 ] but this psyllid-plant association has been hypothesized to be due to the taxonomically paraphyletic nature of that particular genus [ 6 , 7 ].…”

“…Of the Triozidae, the endemic Trioza curta was found to have a separate ancestral origin from the other Aotearoa New Zealand triozids, forming a monophyletic association with T . adventicia , an Australian species hosted by the myrtaceous Syzygium smithii [ 94 – 96 ], confirming this species doesn’t belong to the genus Powellia [ 39 ]. The Australian triozids formed a monophyletic clade, that also included Aotearoa New Zealand’s T .…”

“…The psyllid fauna of Aotearoa New Zealand, home to more than 120 psyllid species-of which only 74 are fully described [36][37][38]-provides a unique case study to test these insect-bacteria-plant relationships. These species belong to 24 genera and six families, with the majority of endemic species falling within the genera Powellia [39], Ctenarytaina and Psylla [36]. Since their arrival, these genera have speciated on the archipelago but developed different breadths of association with regard to their host plants.…”

Insect phylogeny structures the bacterial communities in the microbiome of psyllids (Hemiptera: Psylloidea) in Aotearoa New Zealand

The bacterial microbiome of psyllids has been studied for decades, with a strong focus on the primary and secondary endosymbionts capable of providing essential amino acids for the insects’ diet and therefore playing a key role in the insects’ ability to radiate on novel plant hosts. Here, we combine metabarcoding analysis of the bacterial communities hosted by psyllids with a multi-gene phylogenetic analysis of the insect hosts to determine what factors influence the bacterial diversity of the psyllids’ microbiomes, especially in the context of the dispersal and evolutionary radiation of these insects in Aotearoa New Zealand. Using multi-gene phylogenetics with COI, 18S and EF-1α sequences from 102 psyllid species, we confirmed for the first time monophyly for all the six genera of native/endemic Aotearoa New Zealand psyllids, with indications that they derive from at least six dispersal events to the country. This also revealed that, after its ancestral arrival, the genus Powellia has radiated onto a larger and more diverse range of plants than either Psylla or Ctenarytaina, which is uncommon amongst monophyletic psyllids globally. DNA metabarcoding of the bacterial 16S gene here represents the largest dataset analysed to date from psyllids, including 246 individuals from 73 species. This provides novel evidence that bacterial diversity across psyllid species is strongly associated with psyllid phylogenetic structure, and to a lesser degree to their host plant association and geographic distribution. Furthermore, while the strongest co-phylogenetic signals were derived from the primary and secondary symbionts, a signal of phylosymbiosis was still retained among the remaining taxa of the bacterial microbiome, suggesting potential vertical transmission of bacterial lineages previously unknown to have symbiotic roles.

Lisne buhe (Hemiptera: Sternorrhyncha: Psylloidea) sitni su kukci koje je u prirodi teško otkriti, posebno kada se nalaze u populacijama niskog intenziteta. Procjenjuje se da je u svijetu do danas opisano oko 4000 vrsta klasificiranih u sedam porodica. Samo manji broj vrsta ubraja se u važne poljoprivredne štetnike, a u posljednje vrijeme dobivaju na značaju zahvaljujući spoznaji da prenose uzročnike biljnih bolesti. Faunističko istraživanje lisnih buha u Hrvatskoj započelo je 2015. godine. Cilj ovog istraživanja bio je sastaviti popis vrsta lisnih buha prisutnih u Hrvatskoj, uz pregled pripadajućih biljaka domaćina, kao i utvrditi potencijalno prisustvo nekih do danas u Hrvatskoj nepoznatih vrsta. Odrasli primjerci lisnih buha uzorkovani su entomološkim kečerom ili metodom otresanja biljaka na bijelu podlogu te su usnim aspiratorom prikupljani u Falcon epruvete i do laboratorijske analize pohranjeni u 70% etilni alkohol. Identifikacija vrsta provedena je klasičnom makroskopskom i mikroskopskom analizom na osnovi morfoloških karakteristika odraslih stadija i genitalija mužjaka, vrlo rijetko i ženki, uz korištenje dihotomnih ključeva dostupnih u literaturi. U periodu od 2015. do 2021. godine sljedeće vrste lisnih buha iz porodice Psyllidae zabilježene su po prvi puta u Hrvatskoj: Diaphorina chobauti Puton, 1898, Arytaina genistae (Latreille, 1805), Cacopsylla brunneipennis (Edwards, 1896), Cacopsylla myrthi (Puton, 1876), Cacopsylla saliceti (Foerster, 1848), Livilla variegata (Löw, 1881), Psylla foersteri Flor, 1861 i Psylla hartigii Flor, 1861.
