Calinda
Calinda is a genus of psyllids (family Triozidae) in the order Hemiptera, first described by Blanchard in 1852. Psyllids are small plant-feeding insects commonly known as jumping plant lice. The genus belongs to the suborder Sternorrhyncha, a group characterized by piercing-sucking mouthparts and often complex host plant relationships. As of current records, the genus contains multiple species, though specific taxonomic boundaries and species counts require further verification.
Ciriacreminae
Ciriacreminae is a subfamily of psyllids within the family Psyllidae, comprising small plant-feeding true bugs in the order Hemiptera. Members of this subfamily share the general characteristics of Psyllidae, including jumping ability and typically host-specific feeding relationships with plants. The subfamily is part of the Sternorrhyncha, a group considered basal within Hemiptera that includes aphids, scale insects, and whiteflies. Specific diagnostic features distinguishing Ciriacreminae from other psyllid subfamilies are not well documented in widely available literature.
Freysuila
Freysuila is a genus of jumping plant lice (psyllids) in the family Psyllidae, established by Aleman in 1887. As members of the superfamily Psylloidea, these insects are small, plant-feeding hemipterans with characteristic jumping hind legs. The genus is poorly documented in scientific literature, with limited species-level information available. It belongs to a diverse group of phytophagous insects that specialize on vascular plants.
Paramesus
Paramesus is a genus of leafhoppers in the family Cicadellidae, subfamily Deltocephalinae, and tribe Paralimnini. The genus was established by Fieber in 1866 and belongs to the large group of true bugs (Hemiptera) within the Auchenorrhyncha. Leafhoppers in this genus are small, plant-feeding insects with piercing-sucking mouthparts. The genus is part of the diverse Membracoidea superfamily, which contains many economically significant agricultural pests.
