Pomponia is a genus of cicadas from Asia. A group of species previously placed in Pomponia, containing the largest cicada species found on earth, have recently been moved to Megapomponia. However, the remaining species still form a very heterogeneous group and Duffels and Hayashi (2006) mentioned that several species should probably be transferred to genera like Terpnosia and Leptosemia.
Nysius is a genus of false chinch bugs in the family Lygaeidae. At least 100 described species are placed in Nysius.
Platypleura is a genus of cicadas that occurs widely across Africa and southern Asia. Some of the South African species are remarkable for their endothermic thermoregulation that enables crepuscular signalling, an adaptation that reduces risk of predation and enables a greater range for their calls. In field experiments their maximum body temperature while calling at dusk, was measured at 22 °C above ambient temperature.
Phylinae is a subfamily of the plant bug family Miridae. Species of this family are found worldwide.
Ledrinae is a relatively small subfamily within the very large and diverse leafhopper family Cicadellidae. Originally placed in its own family, the "Ledridae", it is based on the type genus Ledra.
Dysdercus is a widespread genus of true bugs in the family Pyrrhocoridae; a number of species attacking cotton bolls may be called "cotton stainers".
The genus Hadoa comprises large-bodied Cicadidae occurring in Western North America. Until recently, these species were in the genus Tibicen, which has now been redefined so as to include only a few European species, while most species from the Eastern and Central US are now placed in Neotibicen and Megatibicen.
Aphrophora is a genus of spittlebugs in the family Aphrophoridae. There are at least 80 described species in Aphrophora.
Okanagana is a genus of cicadas in the family Cicadidae. There are at 58 described species in Okanagana.
Cacama is a genus of cicadas in the family Cicadidae commonly known as cactus dodgers. There are about 12 described species in Cacama.
Diceroprocta is a genus of scrub cicadas in the family Cicadidae. There are at least 60 described species in Diceroprocta.
Abroma is a genus of cicadas in the family Cicadidae. There are at least 20 described species in Abroma.
Iassinae is a subfamily of leafhoppers in the family Cicadellidae.
Taphurini is a tribe of cicadas in the family Cicadidae, found in the neotropics.
Cicadatra is a genus of European and Asian cicadas; it was erected by Kolenati in 1857 and is typical of the tribe Cicadatrini.
Guyalna is a genus of cicadas in the family Cicadidae. It was first described by Boulard and Martinelli in 1996. Members of this genus are characterized by three-segmented tarsi, a rounded timbal cover apex, a pronotum shorter than the mesonotum, the head as wide or slightly wider than the mesonotum, and slightly protruding eyes, according to the authors who first described it.
