Asian citrus psyllid, Diaphorina citri, vector of citrus huanglongbing disease (2013, background): “Asian citrus psyllid relies at least on olfaction and vision to locate citrus hosts (Wenninger et al., 2009b; S etamou et al., 2011), and they may find mates through olfaction, visual cues, and substrate vibrational communication (Wenninger et al., 2008, 2009a).”
Biology and management of Asian citrus psyllid, vector of the huanglongbing pathogens. (2013, background): “There is also evidence of a volatile sex attractant and, surprisingly, males are more attracted to mated females than to virgins (160).”
A review on Trioza erytreae (African citrus psyllid), now in mainland Europe, and its potential risk as vector of huanglongbing (HLB) in citrus (2017, background): “…because sex pheromones have been identified in recent years in other species of psyllids, such as Cacopsylla pyricola (Förster) and Bactericera cockerelli (Sulc) (Guédot et al. 2009, 2010), and behavioural evidence suggests a female-produced sex attractant in D. citri (Wenninger et al. 2008).”
