Dracela is a genus of issid planthopper in the family Issidae and can be found in northern South America and southern Central America. [1] [2] [3]
A planthopper is any insect in the infraorder Fulgoromorpha, in the suborder Auchenorrhyncha, a group exceeding 12,500 described species worldwide. The name comes from their remarkable resemblance to leaves and other plants of their environment and that they often "hop" for quick transportation in a similar way to that of grasshoppers. However, planthoppers generally walk very slowly. Distributed worldwide, all members of this group are plant-feeders, though few are considered pests. The infraorder contains 2 superfamily, Fulgoroidea and Delphacoidea. Fulgoroids are most reliably distinguished from the other Auchenorrhyncha by two features; the bifurcate (Y-shaped) anal vein in the forewing, and the thickened, three-segmented antennae, with a generally round or egg-shaped second segment (pedicel) that bears a fine filamentous arista.
Issidae is a family of planthoppers described by Spinola in 1839, belonging to the order Hemiptera, suborder Auchenorrhyncha superfamily Fulgoroidea.
Nogodinidae is a family of planthoppers. They have membranous wings with delicate venation and can be confused with members of other Fulgoroid families such as the Issidae and Tropiduchidae. Some authors treat it as a subfamily of the Issidae.
Aplos is a genus of issid planthopper with only one species, Aplos simplex. It can be found in most of the Eastern United States and is now found as an invasive species in Northern Italy and Austria. Aplos simplex was formerly listed under the genus Thionia.
Acanaloniidae is a family of planthoppers. It is sometimes treated as a subfamily of Issidae.
Tropiduchus is a genus of planthoppers, recorded from Africa and Malesia.
Thionia bullata is a species of issid planthopper in the family Issidae. It can be found in the United States. Pine trees, specifically Pinus taeda, Pinus echinata, and Pinus virginiana species, are its host plant.
Thionia quinquata is a species of issid planthopper in the family Issidae.
Thionia elliptica is a species of issid planthopper in the family Issidae.
Cheiloceps is a genus of planthoppers in the family Issidae. Cheiloceps was described as a genus by Uhler, 1895, downgraded by Fennah, 1955 to a subgenus of Thionia; then restored to genus status by Gnezdilov, 2018.
Fowlerium is a genus of planthoppers in the family Issidae. They are native to the Southwestern United States and Mexico.
Fowlerium acutum is a species of planthopperin the family Issidae. They are native to central Texas and Oklahoma.
Waorania is the only genus of issid planthopper in the subtribe Waoraniina. The first two species in the genus were discovered in the forests of Ecuador.
Amnisa is a genus of issid planthopper in the family Issidae and are native to Brazil.
Diceroptera is a genus of issid planthopper with one species, Diceroptera humboldti. It can be found in Venezuela.
Oronoqua is a genus of issid planthopper in the family Issidae and can be found in the northern Neotropics. The difference in fore and hind wing venations between species of Oronoqua and the other genera in Thioniini led to a subtribe Oronoquina being erected.
Paranipeus is a genus of issid planthopper containing one species, Paranipeus latipes, native to Brazil.
Proteinissus is a genus of planthopper in the family Issidae, found in Mexico.
Thioniamorpha is a genus of issid planthopper with one species, Thioniamorpha marmorata, found in Panama.
Picumna chinai is a species of planthopper in the family Issidae. They can be found across the Southwestern United States and Central America.
