Homotomidae is a family of small phloem-feeding bugs in the superfamily Psylloidea, or jumping plantlice.

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.[1]

Systematics

Hollis & Broomfield (1989) propose the following classification within Homotomidae:[1]
