description: Spondyliaspidinae
Anoeconeossa communis Taylor, 1987
Distribution: Australia; introduced into New Zealand: (Henderson et al. 2010). Host plants: Eucalyptus sp. (Myrtaceae).
Natural enemies: Psyllaephagus richardhenryi (Hymenoptera: Encyrtidae) (Macfarlane et al. 2010).
Blastopsylla occidentalis Taylor, 1985
Distribution: Australia; introduced into Africa, North and South America, Asia, Europe and New Zealand: AK (Taylor 1985; Dale 1985, as ‘genus C’ n. sp.), BP, ND, NN (Dale 1985, as ‘genus C’ n. sp.). Host plants: Eucalyptus leucoxylon, E. maideni, E. nicholii, E. viridis (Myrtaceae).
Cardiaspina fiscella Taylor, 1962
Distribution: Australia; introduced into New Zealand: (Henderson et al. 2010); AK, BP, CL, GB, HB, ND, RI, TK, WA, WI, WN, WO (AMNZ, MONZ, FHDB).
Host plants: Eucalyptus sp. (Myrtaceae).
Natural enemies: Coccidoctonus gemitus, Psyllaephagus gemitus (Hymenoptera: Encyrtidae) (Macfarlane et al. 2010).
Creiis lituratus (Froggatt, 1900)
Distribution: Australia; introduced into New Zealand: (Henderson et al. 2010, as Creiis liturata [sic]); AK (AMNZ, FHDB), BP, CL, GB, ND, WI, WO (FHDB).
Host plants: Eucalyptus sp. (Myrtaceae). In Australia on Eucalyptus robusta (Hollis 2004).
Cryptoneossa triangula Taylor, 1990
Distribution: Australia; introduced into USA and New Zealand: (Henderson et al. 2010); AK, BP, HB, ND (AMNZ, FHDB, MONZ).

Host plants: Leptospermum scoparium (Myrtaceae).
Comments: Tuthill (1952) ‘found this minute species to be present on both Leptospermum scoparium and L. ericoides [= Kunzea ericoides] at many localities throughout New Zealand’. Judging from the host plants he collected from, Tuthill’s (1952) record is a mix of C. clavata and C. pollicaris (Dale 1985).
Ctenarytaina eucalypti (Maskell, 1890)
Distribution: Australia; introduced into Africa, America (North and South), Asia, Europe and New Zealand: (Maskell 1890; Myers 1922; Clark 1938, all as Rhinocola eucalypti; Miller 1971), BP, MC (Tuthill 1952), WI (Tuthill 1952; Dale 1985); AK, BR, CL, DN, GB, HB, MB, NC, ND, NN, SC, SL, TK, TO, WD, WO, WN (FHDB, LUNZ).
Host plants: Eucalyptus globulus (Myrtaceae). In Australia on several Eucalyptus spp. (Hollis 2004).
Natural enemies: Psyllaephagus pilosus Noyes, 1988 (Hymenoptera: Encyrtidae) (Macfarlane et al. 2010).
Ctenarytaina fuchsiae (Maskell, 1890)
Distribution: New Zealand: (Maskell 1889, as Rhinocola fuchsiae; Tuthill 1952), AK (Dale 1985), MC (Ferris & Klyver 1932), NN, TK, TO, WD (Dale 1985), WN (Ferris & Klyver 1932; Dale 1985); RI, SI (CMNZ, LUNZ). Host plants: Fuchsia excorticata (Onagraceae).
Ctenarytaina longicauda (Taylor, 1987)
Distribution: Australia; introduced into the USA and New Zealand: (Henderson et al. 2010), AK (AMNZ, FHDB, LUNZ).
Host plants: Lophostemon confertus (Myrtaceae). In Australia on Lophostemon suaveolens (Hollis 2004).
Ctenarytaina pollicaris (Ferris & Klyver, 1932)
Distribution: New Zealand: AK, BP, BR, MB (Dale 1985), MC (Tuthill 1952; Dale 1985), ND, NN (Dale 1985), WI (Ferris & Klyver 1932; Tuthill 1952; Dale 1985), WN (Ferris & Klyver 1932; Dale 1985). Host plants: Kunzea ericoides (Myrtaceae).
Ctenarytaina spatulata Taylor, 1997
Distribution: Australia; introduced into America (North and South), Europe and New Zealand: (Henderson et al. 2010), South Island (Taylor 1997), MC (Bullians 2015); AK, BP, DN, FD, HB, NC, ND, RI, SI, SL, WN (FHDB, LUNZ).
Host plants: Eucalyptus sp. (Myrtaceae). In Australia on several Eucalyptus spp. (Hollis 2004).
Ctenarytaina thysanura Ferris & Klyver, 1932
Distribution: Australia and New Zealand: (Tuthill 1952), AK, WI (Dale 1985), DN (introduced from Australia: Melbourne, Ferris & Klyver 1932; Dale 1985); SC, TO, WN (FHDB, LUNZ). Host plants: Boronia heterophylla, B. megastigma (Rutaceae).
Ctenarytaina sp.
Distribution: New Zealand: AK, BP, ND, NN, WN (Dale 1985, as Ctenarytaina n. sp. ‘cutaway’).
Host plants: Kunzea ericoides (Myrtaceae).
Comments: When Dale (1985) described this species, she listed Leptospermum ericoides as the only host plant. However, a revision of the Leptospermum genus had already been made (Thompson 1983) with L. ericoides transferred to Kunzea as K. ericoides. Therefore it is now listed here as such. Henderson et al. (2010) listed two Ctenarytaina spp. both with Leptospermum as host plant, but not specifying the species; this probably referred to Dale’s work without the updated plant classification.
Ctenarytaina sp.
Distribution: New Zealand: BR, MB, MC, NN, WN (Dale 1985, as Ctenarytaina n. sp. ‘short’).
Host plants: Kunzea ericoides (Myrtaceae).
Comments: When Dale (1985) described this species, she listed Leptospermum ericoides as the only host plant. However, a revision of the Leptospermum genus had already been made (Thompson 1983) with L. ericoides transferred to Kunzea as K. ericoides. Therefore it is now listed here as such. Henderson et al.
