Host plant: Eucalyptus citriodora , E. maculata .

Remarks: A minor pest on lemon-scented gum ( E citriodora ) and spotted gum ( E. maculata ) in California, and high summer temperatures appear to limit psyllid numbers ( Paine & Dreistadt 2007). First recorded in California in 1995 ( Gill 1995); common name: lemon gum psyllid.

Ctenarytaina Ferris & Klyver

eucalypti (Maskell, 1890)

Type locality: Australia.

Additional distribution: Introduced in Europe, New Zealand, South America, USA. Host plant: At least nine Eucalyptus spp. ( Burckhardt 1998), including E. pulverulenta , E. globulus in California. Remarks: First recorded in California in the 1990s ( Gill 1991, 1992); common name: blue gum psyllid. This species can have four or more generations per year.

Parasitoids: Psyllaephagus pilosus Noyes ; this introduced parasitoid is a highly effective classical biological control agent. Insecticide use for this pest was eliminated by 1994 as the parasitoids spread throughout California ( Dahlsten et al. 1998).
