Tingidae View in CoL View at ENA genera associated with the Proteaceae

Tingid clades are often associated with a narrow range of plant genera ( Cassis and Symonds 2011, Cassis et al. 2017), which are often closely related. Based on recent surveys ( Cassis et al. 2007) numerous tingid taxa are associated with the plant family Proteaceae . Host records from the PBI database were harvested for a list of tingid taxa associated with Proteaceae (Supporting Information, Table S4). Three genus-group taxa were recovered from our molecular analysis that are specialized on the Proteaceae . In addition, there are several genera that have one to several species associated with the Proteaceae but are not exclusively associated with the family. The following key accounts for all genera that have at least one species associated with the Proteaceae .
