Flatosoma is a genus of planthoppers in the family Flatidae. It was first described by Leopold Melichar in 1901. Species in the genus are found in Sabah, Malaysia. [1] [2]
FLOW lists the following species [1] (which may have been originally placed in the genus Paraflata ):
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.
Ricaniidae is a family of planthopper insects, containing over 400 species worldwide. The highest diversity is in tropical Africa and Asia and in Australia, with a few species occurring in the Palearctic and Neotropical realms. It is one of the smaller families in the planthopper superfamily Fulgoroidea.
Garumna is a genus of Asian planthoppers in the family Tropiduchidae and tribe Tambiniini, erected by Leopold Melichar in 1914.
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.
Poekilloptera is a genus of South American planthoppers in the subfamily Flatinae and is the sole genus in the tribe Poekillopterini.
Elicinae is a subfamily of tropiduchid planthoppers in the family Tropiduchidae, with Elica the type genus.
Acanaloniidae is a family of planthoppers. It is sometimes treated as a subfamily of Issidae.
The Achilixiidae are a family of Fulgoromorpha (planthoppers); species may be found in the neotropical and Asian regions.
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.
Adexia is a genus of planthoppers in the family Flatidae. It was first described by Leopold Melichar in 1901.
Flatomorpha is a genus of planthoppers in the family Flatidae. It was first described by Leopold Melichar in 1901.
Dermoflata rotundata is a species of planthopper in the family Flatidae. It is the only species in the monotypic genus Dermoflata. It was first described by Leopold Melichar in 1901. It is found in Indonesia and Malaysia.
Flatina is a genus of planthoppers in the family Flatidae. It was first described by Leopold Melichar in 1901. Species from the genus are found in Cameroon, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Guinea, the Ivory Coast, the Republic of the Congo, and Sierra Leone.
Paraflata is a genus of planthoppers in the family Flatidae. It was first described by Leopold Melichar in 1901. Species in the genus are found on Madagascar.
Poeciloflata is a genus of planthoppers in the family Flatidae. It was first described by Leopold Melichar in 1901. Species in the genus are found in Sulawesi, Indonesia.
Paracromna is a genus of planthoppers in the family Flatidae. It was first described by Leopold Melichar in 1901.
Scarpantina is a genus of planthoppers in the family Flatidae. It was first described by Leopold Melichar in 1901.
Tropiduchus is a genus of planthoppers, recorded from Africa and Malesia.
Flatida is a genus of planthoppers in the family Flatidae and tribe Phromniini. Much of the literature on this genus refers to the name Phromnia, which has recently been recognized to be a junior synonym of Flatida. Species from the genus are found in tropical Africa and Asia.
