Comments
The monophyly of
Macrocorsinae
is very strongly supported in both mtg analyses. The four genera treated in the analyses are also assigned to this subfamily by
Burckhardt & Ouvrard (2012)
who included another eight genera. Meanwhile,
Euphaleropsis
and
Peregrinivena
were synonymised (
Burckhardt
et al
. 2018b
).
Trisetipsylla
was placed in the
Macrocorsinae
by
Cho
et al
. (2019)
rather that in
Psyllinae (
Burckhardt & Ouvrard 2012
)
. At least some species of
Trisetipsylla
have immatures with extra pore fields on the caudal plate, supporting this placement.
Otroacizzia
†
Klimaszewski, 1996
contains the following species:
O. muta

(

species),
O. prosapia
†
Klimaszewski, 1996
,
O. soriae
†
Peñalver & García-Gimeno, 2006
and
O. tertia
†
Klimaszewski, 1996
.
Burckhardt & Ouvrard (2012)
synonymised
Otroacizzia
with
Euryconus
.
A reevaluation of the status of the four fossil species by
Klimaszewski (1996)
and Peñalver & García- Gimeno (2006) showed that
Otroacizzia
is a species mix referrable to
Colophorina
(
O. muta
) and to
Euryconus
(other species). Whereas the antennae are short and a genual spine is lacking in
O. muta
, the antennae are long and the genual spine is developed in the other three species. Thus,
O. muta
shows the characteristics of
Colophorina
, making
Otroacizzia
† a junior synonym of the former. The other three species of
Otroacizzia
† conform with the diagnosis of
Euryconus
and are transferred there. The following new synonymy and new combinations are proposed here:
