Dictyssa is a genus of tropiduchid planthoppers in the family Tropiduchidae. There are about 17 described species in Dictyssa. [1] [2] [3] [4]
These 17 species belong to the genus Dictyssa:
Acanalonia is a genus of planthopper and contains the majority of the species within the family Acanaloniidae. Species have been recorded from southern Europe and the Americas.
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.
Issidae is a family of planthoppers described by Spinola in 1839, belonging to the order Hemiptera, suborder Auchenorrhyncha superfamily Fulgoroidea.
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.
Synecdoche is a genus of planthoppers comprising 22 described species in the family Achilidae. All species are New World in distribution, primarily Nearctic. Their immature stages (nymphs) are commonly encountered associated with fungus.
The Elicini are a tribe of planthoppers in the family Tropiduchidae. The type genus is Elica.
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.
Thionia is a genus of planthoppers in the family Issidae. There are at least 60 described species in Thionia. However, several genera have been split off from Thionia reducing the number of species.
Neaethus is a genus of tropiduchid planthoppers in the family Tropiduchidae. There are about 17 described species in Neaethus.
Dyctidea is a genus of tropiduchid planthoppers in the family Tropiduchidae. There are about eight described species in Dyctidea.
Prokelisia is a genus of delphacid planthoppers in the family Delphacidae. There are about five described species in Prokelisia.
Neaethus maculatus is a species of tropiduchid planthopper in the family Tropiduchidae. It is found in North America.
Kelisia is a genus of delphacid planthoppers in the family Delphacidae. There are more than 50 described species in Kelisia.
Dictyobia is a genus of tropiduchid planthoppers in the family Tropiduchidae. There are at least four described species in Dictyobia.
Elicinae is a subfamily of tropiduchid planthoppers in the family Tropiduchidae, with Elica the type genus.
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.
Cixidia is a genus of true bugs belonging to the family Achilidae.
