Delphacini is an important tribe of planthoppers with a world-wide distribution. [2]
All species are phytophagous, many occurring on various grasses, including cereal crop species. Some of these planthoppers are important pests, either simply due to feeding, or they may also be vectors for plant pathogens. Examples include:
BioLib [3] and FLOW [2] include the following:
Delphacidae is a family of planthoppers containing about 2000 species, distributed worldwide. Delphacids are separated from other "hoppers" by the prominent spur on the tibia of the hindleg.
Dictyopharidae is a family of planthoppers, related to the Fulgoridae. The family comprises nearly 760 species in more than 150 genera which are grouped into two subfamilies, Dictyopharinae and Orgeriinae.
Caliscelidae is a family of planthoppers, sap-sucking insects that belong to the order Hemiptera, suborder Auchenorrhyncha and superfamily Fulgoroidea. They are somewhat anomalous and have often been included within the family Issidae. Studies made in 2013 of the phylogeny of the Issidae and other groups using molecular techniques support the treatment of the group as a separate family. Sexual dimorphism can be marked. Some members of the family are called piglet bugs due to the shape of their snout. A particularly aberrant genus described in 2011 from India, Formiscurra, has males that resemble ants.
Delphacinae is a subfamily of delphacid planthoppers in the family Delphacidae. There are at least 1,700 described species in Delphacinae.
Nothodelphax is a genus of delphacid planthoppers in the family Delphacidae. There are more than 20 described species in Nothodelphax.
Achilidae is a family of planthoppers, sometimes called "achilids" in the order Hemiptera. There are at least 520 described species in Achilidae.
Asiracinae is a subfamily of delphacid planthoppers in the family Delphacidae. There are at least 30 genera and 180 described species in Asiracinae, which probably has a world-wide distribution.
Sogatella is a genus of delphacid planthoppers in the family Delphacidae. There are more than 20 described species in Sogatella.
Stenocranus is a genus of delphacid planthoppers in the family Delphacidae. There are more than 70 described species in Stenocranus.
Toya is a genus of delphacid planthoppers in the family Delphacidae. There are at least 40 described species in Toya.
Kelisia is a genus of delphacid planthoppers in the family Delphacidae. There are more than 50 described species in Kelisia.
Syndelphax is a genus of planthoppers in the family Delphacidae, comprising 19 species:
Dictyopharinae is a subfamily of dictyopharid planthoppers in the family Dictyopharidae. There more than 100 genera and 500 described species in Dictyopharinae.
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.
Paralimnini is a tribe of leafhoppers in the subfamily Deltocephalinae. Paralimnini contains 139 genera and over 900 species divided into two subtribes: Aglenina and Paralimnina. The tribe has a cosmopolitan distribution.
Cixidia is a genus of true bugs belonging to the family Achilidae.
