the first Jumping Plant Louse from mid cretaceous burmese amber and its impact on the classification of mesozoic psylloids hemiptera sternorrhyncha psylloidea s l
Cretaceous Research, 2020Co-Authors: Daniel Burckhardt, George PoinarAbstract:Abstract The first Jumping Plant-Louse from mid-Cretaceous Burmese amber is described as Mirala burmanica gen. et sp. nov. The absence of modified hind legs places the new taxon near the Mesozoic Liadopsyllidae (1 genus, 12 species) and Malmopsyllidae (4 genera, 4 species). The latter is defined by the presence of a pterostigma in the fore wing but is otherwise morphologically heterogeneous. Mirala has a pterostigma but shares also characters with Liadopsyllidae. It is concluded that Malmopsyllidae is polyphyletic and following synonymy is proposed: Liadopsyllidae = Malmopsyllidae syn. nov. Mirala differs from the other five Mesozoic psylloid genera in the straight, subparallel veins Rs, M and Cu1a, the unforked vein M in the fore wing and the straight vein Cu1b which is directed toward the wing base. A key is provided for the identification of the genera of Liadopsyllidae. The new taxon described here represents only the third specimen of Liadopsyllidae preserved in amber, and the fourth species from the Cretaceous (the majority being Jurassic). A member of the Plant family Lauraceae is discussed as a possible host Plant for the psyllid lineage in Burmese amber.

ceropsylla pouteriae burckhardt sp nov hemiptera psylloidea triozidae a new species of Jumping Plant Louse inducing galls on the leaves of pouteria ramiflora mart radlk sapotaceae taxonomy gall structure and histochemistry
Journal of Natural History, 2019Co-Authors: Denis Coelho De Oliveira, Daniel Burckhardt, Tacito De Freitas Calacio, Vinicius Coelho Kuster, Dalva Luiz De QueirozAbstract:Ceropsylla pouteriae Burckhardt sp. nov. is described and illustrated from Brazil: Minas Gerais. It induces pit galls on the leaves of Pouteria ramiflora (Mart.) Radlk. (Sapotaceae), a characteristic tree of the Cerrado biome. The previously artificial genus Ceropsylla is redefined and six species are transferred from Ceropsylla to Trioza as Trioza angustirerta (Li, 2011), comb. nov., Trioza celticola (Li, 2011), comb. nov., Trioza cestolemba (Li, 2011), comb. nov., Trioza discrepans (Tuthill, 1945), comb. nov., Trioza martorelli (Caldwell, 1942), comb. nov. and Trioza pulchra (Tuthill, 1945), comb. nov. The psyllids on Sapotaceae are reviewed and the phylogenetic relationships of Ceropsylla briefly discussed. The Ceropsylla pouteriae gall develops from cellular hypertrophy and hyperplasia of the mesophyll leaf tissue, as well as neoformation of vascular tissues. The hypertrophy of the palisade parenchyma cells leads to the formation of the adaxial cortex of the gall. The abaxial cortex originates from the spongy parenchyma. The elongation of the adaxial and abaxial cortex is responsible for the intralaminar gall shape. The neoformation of vascular bundles is an important feature for the phloem feeding Ceropsylla pouteriae. The intralaminar morphotype of the C. pouteriae gall showed a simple anatomical structure. It lacks defence-related compounds and nutritive tissue. The structural simplicity contrasts with the presence of chemical substances in the gall tissue.

moriphila furva gen and sp nov hemiptera psylloidea homotomidae a new Jumping Plant Louse from korea associated with morus australis moraceae
Zootaxa, 2018Co-Authors: Daniel BurckhardtAbstract:Moriphila furva Burckhardt & Cho, gen. and sp. nov., is described from the mountain region in north eastern South Korea. Adults were collected on Morus australis which is a likely host. We provide morphological evidence that the new monotypic genus constitutes the probable sister group of the afrotropical Phytolyma whose species develop on Milicia and Morus (Moraceae). Differences between the two genera are detailed and the phylogenetic relationships to other members of Homotomidae: Macrohomotominae, to which the new genus belongs, are discussed. The host relationships of Psylloidea associated with Moraceae are reviewed. The latter constitutes the fifth most important host taxon of Psylloidea even though it is only a moderately large family of angiosperms in terms of constituent species. Moraceae have been colonised by psyllids at least five times independently. Following new combinations are proposed: Homotoma brevis (Li, 1993), comb. nov. and Homotoma microphyllae (Li & Yang, 1991), comb. nov. (both from Caenohomotoma Yang & Li, 1981).

systematics biogeography and host Plant relationships of the neotropical Jumping Plant Louse genus russelliana hemiptera psylloidea
Zootaxa, 2017Co-Authors: Liliya Serbina, Daniel BurckhardtAbstract:The Neotropical genus Russelliana (Psyllidae: Aphalaroidinae) is revised and its phylogenetic, host-Plant and biogeographical relationships are discussed. Twenty-four species are described as new, bringing the number of known species to 43. An identification key is provided for the adults. A phylogenetic analysis of 26 morphological characters resulted in 54 most parsimonious trees. The consensus tree is well resolved at the base but poorly at the crown. Most Russelliana species are monophagous or oligophagous with the exception of R. solanicola which is polyphagous. With eight Plant families, the host range of Russelliana is broader than that of other aphalaroidine genera. The hosts for 29 species are confirmed, those for 12 species are suggested based on phylogenetic relationships. The species associated with Asteraceae (4 spp.) and most of the Fabaceae-feeders (12 spp.) form each a monophyletic group, those associated with Verbenaceae (5 spp.) are paraphyletic and those with Solanaceae are polyphyletic (16 spp.). The two species associated with Rosaceae are not closely related. These patterns suggest repeated host shifts. Whether there is cospeciation in some groups cannot be judged as neither psyllid nor host phylogenies are sufficiently resolved. The world psylloid fauna comprises relatively few species associated with Solanaceae. The number of 16 Russelliana species with confirmed or likely solanaceous hosts is, therefore, surprising and important in view of the potential pest status of some Russelliana spp. The genus is restricted to temperate and subtropical South America (Argentina, Bolivia, Southern Brazil, Chile, Peru and Uruguay). Most species are known from the Western Andean part of the continent. Only four species are currently known from Eastern South America. The cladogram suggests that geographical vicariance may account for at least part of the observed species richness, as five vicariant events were detected for Russelliana . A better resolution of the cladogram may reveal more cases of geographical vicariance.

Emerging New Crop Pests: Ecological Modelling and Analysis of the South American Potato Psyllid Russelliana solanicola (Hemiptera: Psylloidea) and Its Wild Relatives
PLOS ONE, 2017Co-Authors: Mindy M. Syfert, Daniel Burckhardt, Liliya Serbina, Sandra Knapp, Diana M. PercyAbstract:Food security is threatened by newly emerging pests with increased invasive potential accelerated through globalization. The Neotropical Jumping Plant Louse Russelliana solanicola Tuthill is currently a localized potato pest and probable vector of Plant pathogens. It is an unusually polyphagous species and is widely distributed in and along the Andes. To date, introductions have been detected in eastern Argentina, southern Brazil and Uruguay. Species distribution models (SDMs) and trait comparisons based on contemporary and historical collections are used to estimate the potential spread of R. solanicola worldwide. We also extend our analyses to all described species in the genus Russelliana in order to assess the value of looking beyond pest species to predict pest spread. We investigate the extent to which data on geographical range and environmental niche can be effectively extracted from museum collections for comparative analyses of pest and non-pest species in Russelliana. Our results indicate that R. solanicola has potential for invasion in many parts of the world with suitable environmental conditions that currently have or are anticipated to increase potato cultivation. Large geographical ranges are characteristic of a morphological subgeneric taxon group that includes R. solanicola; this same group also has a larger environmental breadth than other groups within the genus. Ecological modelling using museum collections provides a useful tool for identifying emerging pests and developing integrated pest management programs.

Descriptions of two new Pseudophacopteron species (Hemiptera:Psylloidea: Phacopteronidae) inducing galls on Aspidosperma(Apocynaceae) in Brazil
Acta Entomologica Musei Nationalis Pragae, 2015Co-Authors: Igor Malenovský, Daniel Burckhardt, Dalva Luiz De Queiroz, Rosy Mary Dos Santos Isaias, Denis Coelho De OliveiraAbstract:Two new species of the large pantropical Jumping Plant-Louse genus Pseudophacopteron Enderlein, 1921 (Hemiptera: Psylloidea: Phacopteronidae) are described from dry woodland habitats in the Midwest, Southeast and South of Brazil. Pseudophacopteron aspidospermi sp. nov. is associated with Aspidosperma australe, P. longicaudatum sp. nov. has been found on Aspidosperma macrocarpon and A. tomentosum (Apocynaceae). Both species induce intralaminar lenticular galls on the leaves of their host trees which have been the subject of several structural, histochemical and ecological publications. Adult males and females, fifth instar immatures and galls are illustrated including diagnostic morphological details, and compared with other Neotropical and Old World species of Pseudophacopteron and Phacopteronidae. The distribution of Pseudophacopteron in the Neotropical Region is briefl y discussed.

Preimaginal stages and biology of Bactericera lyrata (Hemiptera: Psylloidea: Triozidae)
Acta Entomologica Musei Nationalis Pragae, 2014Co-Authors: Gabrijel Seljak, Igor MalenovskýAbstract:The egg and fifth instar immature of the Jumping Plant-Louse Bactericera lyrata Seljak, Malenovský & Lauterer, 2008 (Hemiptera: Psylloidea: Triozidae) are described and illustrated for the first time based on material collected in Slovenia and reared on Potentilla reptans (Rosaceae) which is confirmed as a host Plant. The morphology of the fifth instar immature is compared with closely related species and a key for the identification of the fifth instar immatures of west Palaearctic species of Bactericera Puton, 1876 associated with Rosaceae is provided. Bactericera lyrata has three generations per year in Slovenia with adults overwintering. It is unknown whether they migrate to conifers. The colour dimorphism of adults of the summer and overwintering generations is illustrated and briefly discussed.

New records of Jumping Plant-lice from Slovenia with description of Bactericera lyrata sp. n. (Hemiptera: Psylloidea).
Revue Suisse De Zoologie, 2008Co-Authors: G. Seljak, Igor Malenovský, Pavel LautererAbstract:New records of Jumping Plant-lice from Slovenia with description of Bactericera lyrata sp. n. (Hemiptera: Psylloidea). Bactericera lyrata sp. n. (Triozidae) is described from Slovenia based on the morphology of adults. The new species is closely related to Bactericera reuteri (Sulc) and B. modesta (Foerster) from which it differs mainly in the coloration of body and antenna, the fore wing shape, venation and spinulation, the size of genal cones, and the structure of male paramere and female terminalia. Host Plant and larvae are so far unknown. Records of following Jumping Plant-Louse species, new to the fauna of Slovenia, are shortly discussed: Cacopsylla nigrita (Zetterstedt), Craspedolepta bulgarica Klimaszewski, Megagono scena gallicola Burckhardt & Lauterer, Trioza abdominalis Flor, T. laser pitii Burckhardt & Lauterer, and T. megacerca Burckhardt. Megagonoscena gallicola is also reported for the first time from Croatia and Italy. The presence of Trioza ilicina (De Stefani Perez) in Slovenia is confirmed based on recent records of larvae. Currently, 107 species of Psylloidea are known to occur in Slovenia.
