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.
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.
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.
Danepteryx is a genus of tropiduchid planthoppers in the family Tropiduchidae. There are about 6 described species in Danepteryx.
The Elicini are a tribe of planthoppers in the family Tropiduchidae. The type genus is Elica.
Achilidae is a family of planthoppers, sometimes called "achilids" in the order Hemiptera. There are at least 520 described species in Achilidae.
Myconus is a genus of achilid planthoppers in the family Achilidae and the type genus of the subfamily Myconinae and tribe Myconini; species have been recorded from South America and East Africa.
Pintalia is a genus of cixiid planthoppers in the family Cixiidae. There are at least 50 described species in Pintalia.
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.
Tangiini is a tribe of tropiduchid planthoppers in the family Tropiduchidae. There are about 10 genera and at least 30 described species in Tangiini.
Tropiduchinae is a subfamily of tropiduchid planthoppers in the family Tropiduchidae.
Dictyopharinae is a subfamily of dictyopharid planthoppers in the family Dictyopharidae. There more than 100 genera and 500 described species in Dictyopharinae.
Acanaloniidae is a family of planthoppers. It is sometimes treated as a subfamily of Issidae.
Tambinia is a genus of planthoppers (Hemiptera) in the family Tropiduchidae and typical of the tribe Tambiniini ; species are found in Australia and Southeast Asia.
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.
The Nogodininae are a sub-family of tropical planthoppers erected by Leopold Melichar in 1898. The recorded distribution is: South America, Africa and the Middle East, South and SE Asia through to Australia.
