Callitettix [1] is a genus of bugs in the family Cercopidae ("froghoppers") in the suborder Auchenorrhyncha and the monotypic subfamily Callitettixinae. The recorded distribution for species is in mainland Asia: from India to southern China and Indochina. [2]
BioLib includes the following species: [3]
The family Fulgoridae is a large group of hemipteran insects, especially abundant and diverse in the tropics, containing over 125 genera worldwide. They are mostly of moderate to large size, many with a superficial resemblance to Lepidoptera due to their brilliant and varied coloration. Various genera and species are sometimes referred to as lanternflies or lanthorn flies, though they do not emit light.
Pentatominae is a subfamily of Pentatomidae, a family of shield bugs. This subfamily is the largest one within the Pentatomidae, having 4937 species classified in 938 genera. Species in this subfamily are phytophages and several of them are considered agricultural pests. Some invasive pentatomines such as Halyomorpha halys and Bagrada hilaris have been considered household pests. Higher systematics of the group have been revised by Rider et al.
Dindymus is Old World genus of true bugs in the family Pyrrhocoridae. They are often confused with bugs in the family Lygaeidae, but can be distinguished by the lack of ocelli on the head.
The subfamily Aphaeninae is a group of hemipteran insects, especially abundant and diverse in the tropics. They belong to the Fulgoridae (fulgorids), though they are not among the better-known members of that family that are called "lantern bugs" or "lanternflies". In 2009, the first molecular analysis of the Fulgoridae challenged the existing structure of eight currently recognized subfamilies and eleven tribes.
Cercopidae are the largest family of Cercopoidea, a xylem-feeding insect group, commonly called froghoppers or spittlebugs. They belong to the hemipteran suborder Auchenorrhyncha. A 2023 phylogenetic study of the family suggested the elevation of subfamily Ischnorhininae to full family status as Ischnorhinidae, leaving a monophyletic Cercopinae.
Platylomia is a genus of cicadas from Southeast Asia.
Flatidae are a family of fulgoroid planthoppers. They are cosmopolitan in distribution and are distinguished from others in the superfamily by a combination of characters. Like all other planthoppers, they suck phloem sap of plants. Some species are known to communicate with vibrations through the plant stems. Communication may be with mates, or with ants that tend the nymphs, protecting them and gathering honeydew secretions. Adults of some species have brightly coloured forewings which are tougher and known as tegmina unlike the membranous hindwings which are used for flight. Although a few can be identified by their coloration, most species requires dissection and examination under a microscope with access to literature on already described species.
Antestia is a genus of African and Asian bugs in the subfamily Pentatominae, erected by Carl Stål, 1865.
Scutellerinae is a subfamily of shield-backed bugs erected by Leach in 1815.
Issidae is a family of planthoppers described by Spinola in 1839, belonging to the order Hemiptera, suborder Auchenorrhyncha superfamily Fulgoroidea.
Leptataspis is a genus of froghoppers belonging to the family Cercopidae.
Penthicodes is a genus of planthoppers belonging to the family Fulgoridae, subfamily Aphaeninae: found in South-East Asia. The genus name was formerly treated as feminine, but in 2022 it was revised to masculine in accordance with ICZN Article 30.1.4.4, changing the spelling of several species' names.
Pentatomini is a tribe of shield bugs in the subfamily of Pentatominae.
Calyptoproctus is a genus of planthoppers in the family Fulgoridae and the type genus of subtribe Calyptoproctina; records are from central and south America.
Leptopsaltriini is a tribe of cicadas in the family Cicadidae. There are at least 200 described species in Leptopsaltriini, found in the Palearctic, Nearctic, and Indomalaya.
Kanaima is a genus of froghoppers endemic to Brazil & Argentina belonging to the family Cercopidae.
Poeciloterpa is a genus of froghoppers in the family Cercopidae. Endemic to the Philippines, there are about 13 described species in Poeciloterpa.
The Flatinae are a subfamily of planthoppers, erected by Maximilian Spinola in 1839. Genera have been recorded from all continents except Antarctica: especially in tropical and subtropical regions.
Euricania is a genus of true bugs belonging to the family Ricaniidae.
Cosmoscarta is a genus of froghoppers found in the Indo-Malayan region. Many of the species are boldly marked in black and red or yellow. A few species are of economic importance as they can cause injury to plants under cultivation.
