Homotomidae is a family of small phloem-feeding bugs in the superfamily Psylloidea, or jumping plantlice.

Hostplants

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.[1]

Systematics

Hollis & Broomfield (1989) propose the following classification within Homotomidae:[1]

  • subfamily Dynopsyllinae Becker-Migdisova, 1973[2]
    • tribe Diceraopsyllini Hollis & Broomfield, 1989
      • Diceraopsylla Crawford, 1912[3] (1 sp.)
    • tribe Dynopsyllini Becker-Migdisova, 1973
      • subtribe Dynopsyllina Becker-Migdisova, 1973
        • Dynopsylla Crawford, 1913[4] (3 spp.)
        • Austrodynopsylla Hollis & Broomfield, 1989 (1 sp.)
      • subtribe Triozamiina Becker-Migdisova, 1973
        • Triozamia Vondráček, 1963[5] (3 spp.)
        • Afrodynopsylla Hollis & Broomfield, 1989 (1 sp.)
  • subfamily Macrohomotominae White & Hodkinson, 1985[6]
    • tribe Edenini Bhanotar, Ghosh & Ghosh, 1972[7]
      • Mycopsylla Froggatt, 1901[8] (9 spp.)
    • tribe Macrohomotomini White & Hodkinson, 1985
  • subfamily Homotominae Heslop-Harrison, 1958[11]
    • tribe Homotomini Heslop-Harrison, 1958
      • Homotoma Guérin-Méneville, 1844[12] (31 spp.)
    • tribe Synozini Becker-Migdisova, 1973
      • Synoza Enderlein, 1918[13] (3 spp.)
