Hyalesthes is a planthopper genus in the family Cixiidae. [1]
The etymology is from Greek: ὕαλος (glassy, hyaline) + ἑσθὴς (cloth, toga, robe). While Signoret originally treated the genus as masculine, as did many subsequent authors, according to the ICZN Art. 30.1.2, the name is feminine. [1]
Issus is a genus of planthoppers belonging to the family Issidae of infraorder Fulgoromorpha of suborder Auchenorrhyncha of order Hemiptera. Like most members of the order Hemiptera they live on phloem sap that they extract with their piercing, sucking mouth parts.
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.
Euscelis is a leafhopper genus in the subfamily Deltocephalinae.
Fieberiellini is a tribe of leafhoppers in the subfamily Deltocephalinae. In the review by Zahniser & Dietrich (2013) it includes 48 species placed in 10 genera. Species in this tribe are native to the Palaearctic region, mainly the southern parts, with some being adventive in the Nearctic. The Cherry Leafhopper is a vector of several phytoplasma diseases including Cherry X Disease.
Cixius is planthopper genus in the tribe Cixiini.
Kinnaridae is a family of fulgoroid planthoppers. This is a small family with a little more than 20 genera and about a 100 species. The family was erected by Muir in 1925 and most members are found in the Oriental and Neotropical regions and only a few in the Nearctic and Palaearctic regions.

The Hysteropterinae are a subfamily of bugs in the family Issidae, based on the type genus Hysteropterum. Species in 59 genera have been recorded in Europe, Africa, and Asia. One species, Agalmatium bilobum, is now also found as an invasive species in the United States, especially in California.
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.
Doratura is a genus of true bugs belonging to the family Cicadellidae.
Psammotettix is a genus of true bugs belonging to the family Cicadellidae. The species of this genus are found in Eurasia and North America
Cicadatra is a genus of European and Asian cicadas; it was erected by Kolenati in 1857 and is typical of the tribe Cicadatrini.
Balclutha is a genus of leafhopper that feed on grasses. They have a cosmopolitan distribution with over a 100 species. The species feed primarily on grasses and sedges and can shift into cereal crops causing some economic damage especially by transferring plant viruses. The genus is named after Balclutha in Scotland.
