Description

edit

Among Australian genera of psyllids, Cerotrioza can be distinguished by its elongate forewings (over 3x longer than wide) with extensive brown pigmentation.[3] This pigmentation varies among species and is one of the features used in identification of species.[4]

Species

edit

The following species are known from genus Cerotrioza:[4]

The species C. corniger and C. microceras were originally described in Cerotrioza but were then reassigned to the genus Leuronota.[5] They were later returned to the genus Cerotrioza.[4]
