Description
Norfolk Island is a small, isolated archipelago in the Pacific Ocean, 1400 km East of the Australian mainland. The history of human colonisation and land use on the island has resulted in a substantial reduction in the extent and quality of indigenous habitat. We provide an updated checklist of the psyllid (Hemiptera, Sternorrhyncha, Psylloidea) present on this island. Collection records report a total of 14 species, of which nine are regarded as adventive, four as native, of which two are endemic, and one whose additional distribution is unknown.
This dataset was used for the following work:
