Type species. Calyptotrypus citri Bey-Bienko, 1956 .

Gorochov described Truljalia designating Calyptotrypus citri Bey-Bienko, 1956 as type species citing its characteristic male genitalic structure. The epiphallus included a pair of lobes and a pair of large hooks with the guiding rod very large and vertically thin, but swollen apically. Truljalia is divided into two groups based on differences in the structure of the male anal plate. The anal plates in Group I are bifurcated and the those in Group II are not. There are now 16 species (including subspecies) in the genus from Bhutan, Indo – China Peninsula, Kalimantan Island, Java Island, South of China and Japan ( Liu & Shi, 2011; Eades, Otte, Cigliano & Braun, 2012). The nymphs are usually brick red with a black abdomen and antenna. They become green in last two instars. Adults are nearly green. The reddish abdomen can be viewed vaguely through the mirror.
