Abstract: The jumping plant-lice (Hemiptera: Sternorrhyncha: Psylloidea) of the island of
Socotra (Yemen) are reviewed. A total of eight species are recorded, six of
them for the first time from Socotra. Four species are described as new:
Colposcenia dioscoridis sp. nov. (Aphalaridae), Diaphorina caliginosa sp. nov.,
D. hagherensis sp. nov. (both Liviidae: Euphyllurinae), and Pauropsylla
jarmilarum sp. nov. (Triozidae). Males are described for the first time for
Diaphorina elegans Burckhardt & Mifsud, 1998 and immatures for
Pseudophacopteron verrucifrons Burckhardt & Harten, 2006 (Phacopteronidae).
Two additional species, Cacopsylla sp. (Psyllidae) and Diaphorina sp., remain
formally undescribed. Host plant, biological and distributional data (if
available) are provided for each species and a key for identification of adults
is supplemented. The jumping plant-louse fauna of Socotra is briefly discussed
from a biogeographical viewpoint.
