Abstract

A list is presented of the 38 plant-lice or Psyllidae recorded from British Columbia. Keys to the species are given with locality records, together with an additional 28 species recorded from adjacent areas of Alberta, Washington and Alaska. The keys are adapted from those given in monographs by Crawford (1914), Caldwell (1938a) and Tuthill (1943) with the addition of ten species not included in their keys.
