Acizzia acaciaebaileyanae is a psyllid common on Acacia baileyana, a popular garden specimen.[1][2] They have also been associated with Acacia podalyriifolia.[1][2] The psyllid and its host plant are native to Australia, but both are now widespread where the plant has been introduced including New Zealand, South Africa, Italy, and California, USA.[2] The psyllid can reproduce to very high numbers, but appears not to damage the plant.
