Acizzia is a genus of psyllids belonging to the monotypic subfamily Acizziinae, with a worldwide distribution; it was erected by George Heslop-Harrison in 1961.
Species primarily feed on Acacia and Albizia species in Australia and have become widespread as their host plants are popular garden specimens. Damage to the leaves is generally mild, but economic damage on plantation species is occasionally reported. Species are monophagous or oligophagous, for example: Acizzia acaciaebaileyanae is common on Acacia baileyana, Acizzia dodonaeae feeds on Dodonaea viscosa, Acizzia jamatonica feeds on Albizia julibrissin, Acizzia solanicola feeds on the genus Solanum, Acizzia uncatoides feeds on Acacia melanoxylon and some Albizia species.
