Home of the Database of Insects and their Food Plants Family   Triozidae (Psylloidea) Sub Family   Description   a family of plant lice Background to Family   Plant lice that mainly overwinter as adults either on the host or on a shelter plant. They feed on a range of families of broadleaved trees (particularly Salix), shrubs (e.g. Rhamnaceae) and herbaceous plants (e.g. Apiaceae, Chenopodiaceae, Rubiaceae, Asteraceae, Dipsacaceae).

This is particularly the case in species which overwinter on 'shelter' plants The interactions for individual psyllid species on Bri; Notes on Sources   Most recent source   1986 Below is a list of all sources for this family / sub-family contained within DBIF.
