Shofner, Ryan & Cassis, Gerasimos, 2024, Phylogenetics and taxonomy of the Indo-Australian genus Ulonemia sensu Drake (Hemiptera: Tingidae), with the recognition of new genera and species collected from Proteaceae in Australia, Zoological Journal of the Linnean Society 200 (2), pp. 360-425 : 376

Taxonomy of Ulonemia s.l.

The following taxon descriptions are restricted to the genera Cercotingis , Proteatingis , and Ulonemia ; these taxa include species that are: (i) previously or were provisionally assigned to Ulonemia at the commencement of this study; (ii) Proteaceae specialists; and (iii) with at least one species with Macadamia F.Muell. ( Proteales : Proteaceae ) as a host. Comparison of Ulonemia specimens from western WA to the descriptions and type photographs of U. mjobergi and U. plesia revealed that the species are synonymous. As U. mjobergi is the older name, all specimens of U. plesia are transferred to that species.

The following abbreviations are used throughout: first antennal segment (AI); second antennal segment (AII); third antennal segment (AIII); fourth antennal segment (AIV); third labial segment (LIII); fourth labial segment (LIV).
