Diagnosis:
Head distinctly wider than mesonotum; vertex twice as broad as long; genae somewhat swollen, usually without processes (
Fig. 29
) but if present, genal processes conical. Clypeus pyriform, with a pair of long setae and 2–5 short setae apically. Antennae 1.4–2.4 times as long as head width; usually segment 8 the longest, sometimes segment 3; terminal setae truncate and shorter than segment 10, one seta about half as long as the other. Forewing obovate, broadly rounded at apex, hyaline; pterostigma broad, wedge-shaped; cell cu1 long and low. Meracanthus short and broadly based; metatibia with or without genual spine and 1+(2–3)+1 apical spurs; metabasitarsus with 2 apical spurs. Male terminalia generally with bifid paramere, forming an inner and outer process (
Fig. 46
).
Biology and damage:
Immatures of
Heteropsylla cubana
feed on buds and young leaves, causing leaf wilting and, in severe cases, complete defoliation and tree death (
Schultze-Kraft 1994
). Some species are employed as control agents of weeds such as
H. spinulosa
Muddiman, Hodkinson & Hollis

Australia
(

Host-plants:
