Zusammenfassung:The Australian psyllid fauna associated with the Loranthaceae is revised. These include three described species of Acizzia from mistletoes hemiparasitic on Eucalyptus in Australia, namely Acizzia amyemae Taylor 1999, Acizzia loranthacae Taylor 1999, Acizzia pendulae Taylor 1999; and eight new species from mistletoes on various hosts from New Guinea and Australia, namely Acizzia casuarinae sp. nov., Acizzia lanceolatae sp. nov., Acizzia maculata sp. nov., Acizzia miraculosa sp. nov., Acizzia nestor sp. nov., Acizzia novaeguineae sp. nov., Acizzia preissiae sp. nov. and A. quandang sp. nov. This study documents the first records of Acizzia from mistletoes from New Guinea and from mistletoes on non‐Eucalyptus hosts, namely Acacia, Casuarina and Myoporum. A key to species of Acizzia from the Loranthaceae mistletoes is provided.
