Spanioneura buxi
boxwood psyllid
Spanioneura buxi, commonly known as the boxwood psyllid, is a sap-feeding insect in the family Psyllidae that infests boxwood (Buxus species). The species produces distinctive cupped or curled terminal leaves on host plants, caused by nymphal feeding and wax secretion. It has a single generation per year in temperate regions. The insect is considered a minor pest that causes primarily cosmetic damage, with most boxwood plants recovering without permanent injury.
