Cerotrioza is a genus of psyllid bugs in the family Triozidae. ^{[1] [2]}

Description

Among Australian genera of psyllids, Cerotrioza can be distinguished by its elongate forewings (over 3x longer than wide) with extensive brown pigmentation. ^[3] This pigmentation varies among species and is one of the features used in identification of species. ^[4]

Species

The following species are known from genus Cerotrioza: ^[4]

• Cerotrioza bivittata Crawford, 1918
• Cerotrioza bridwelli Crawford, 1920
• Cerotrioza corniger (Crawford, 1919)
• Cerotrioza microceras (Crawford, 1919)
• Cerotrioza mukwanensis Fang and Yang, 1986
• Cerotrioza nigromacula Taylor, 2008

The species C. corniger and C. microceras were originally described in Cerotrioza but were then reassigned to the genus Leuronota . ^[5] They were later returned to the genus Cerotrioza. ^[4]
