Microparsus
Microparsus is a genus of aphids in the family Aphididae, established by Patch in 1909. It belongs to the tribe Macrosiphini within the subfamily Aphidinae. The genus is part of the diverse aphid fauna of North America, with species recorded primarily from western regions. As with other aphids in this tribe, members likely possess relatively long siphunculi and are associated with host plants in the Asteraceae family.
Psylla floccosa
Psylla floccosa is a species of jumping plant louse in the family Psyllidae, first described by Edith Marion Patch in 1909. Like other psyllids, it is a small phloem-feeding insect that uses piercing-sucking mouthparts to extract plant sap. The species is part of the diverse genus Psylla, which contains numerous species associated with various host plants. Specific ecological and biological details for P. floccosa remain poorly documented in the scientific literature.
