Genera
See text

Homotomidae was a family of small phloem-feeding bugs in the superfamily of jumping plantlice, but recently (2021) subsumed to the subfamily Homotominae Heslop-Harrison, 1958 in the family Carsidaridae. [2]

Contents

Hostplants

The species in this family feed almost exclusively on plants of the Moraceae genus Ficus . The only exception is the genus Triozamia, with its three species feeding on different varieties of Antiaris toxicaria , also in the Moraceae family. [3]

Systematics

Hollis & Broomfield (1989) propose the following classification within Homotomidae: [3]
