Abstract.(cid:8212)The checklist of Mexican Psylloidea includes 119 species in 39 genera and six families. Within the Psyllidae, there are 59 species in 27 genera; in the Triozidae, 51 species in seven genera; in the Carsidaridae, five species in two genera; in the Homotom- idae, two species in one genus; and in each of the Phacopteronidae and the Calophyidae, there is one species. Fifty-four species of psyllids are known only from Mexico. Key Words: Check list, jumping plant lice, Psylloidea, systematics The psyllids, or Psylloidea, are a group to compile the names of the psyllid species of small sap-sucking insects that are super- recorded from Mexico as a baseline of ficially similar in appearance to miniature knowledge for studies of Mexican psyllid cicadas. The group is comprised of about biodiversity. In many instances records 2000 species (Brown and Hodkinson 1988) have been published that are not an obvious that feed primarily on woody dicotyleden- source of Mexican data; this publication ous plants.
