TRIOZIDAE Löw, 1879

Comments. According to Kwon & Kwon (2020), Triozidae “seems to be a complex artificial assemblage with broad and obscure traditional taxonomic concepts”. This is in stark contrast to Percy et al. (2018) and Burckhardt et al. (2021) who showed that the monophyly of the family is strongly supported by molecular and morphological characters. Kwon & Kwon (2020) divided the Triozidae into three tribes, two of which are monotypic, viz. Epitriozini and Trichochermini. Epitrioza is not included in Percy’s et al. (2018) analyses but Trichochermes is, which is nested within the Triozini of Kwon & Kwon (2020), rendering this tribe paraphyletic. As there is no gain in information in keeping monotypic and paraphyletic tribes we follow here Burckhardt et al. (2021) who did not subdivide the Triozidae into subfamilies or tribes.
