Subfamily * Diaphorininae Vondráček, 1951

Comments

The AN tree (but not the CC tree) shows reasonably strong support for a sister group relationship of Diaphorina to the remainder of Psyllidae , and, as noted earlier, reduced taxon nuclear genome and combined data analyses by Percy et al. (2018) place Diaphorina outside Psyllidae and sister to Triozidae . Increased taxon sampling and more analyses are required to robustly resolve this ambiguity, and therefore erection of a separate family is currently rejected in favour of inclusion in Psyllidae at this time. Based on the morphology of head, forewings and male terminalia we consider Parapsylla the sister group of Diaphorina and include it in the Diaphorininae .
