Homotomidae was a family of small phloem-feeding bugs in the superfamily of jumping plantlice, but recently (2021) subsumed to the subfamily Homotominae in the family Carsidaridae.
==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.
