tobirae
(Miyatake, 1964)
Host plant
:
Pittosporum tobira
.
Remarks
: The transfer of this species to
Edentatipsylla
by
Chen
et al.
(2008)
is considered artificial (Daniel Burckhardt pers. comm.). First recorded in California in 2007 (
Gill & Watson 2007b
). The host is native to Asia (
Taiwan
,
Japan
,
Korea
), and the psyllid was likely introduced with nursery stock.
