This category covers the Sternorrhyncha, one of the four suborders of the large order Hemiptera (bugs). It contains the Aphids (Aphidoidea) with 3 families and 169 species in Australia, most of which are introduced; the Jumping plant lice or Psyllids or Lerp insects (Psylloidea), very diverse with 6 families and over 400 species; and the Whiteflies (Aleyrodidae) with 119 species. The scale insects (Coccoidea), with 21 families and 854 species, are also classified here, but currently have their own category in NatureMapr.
The majority of Australian Psylloidea species - about 350 - are now classified in the families Aphalaridae and Triozidae.
