Membracis is a genus of treehoppers in the family Membracidae. There are more than 50 described species in Membracis. [1]
These 51 species belong to the genus Membracis:
Telingana is a genus of membracid tree hoppers found in Asia. They lay solitary eggs and the young do not aggregate as in some membracids. The genus was described by William Lucas Distant in 1908. Several species have been described in the genus including:
Micrutalis is a genus of treehoppers in the family Membracidae. There are at least 30 described species in Micrutalis.
Smiliinae is a subfamily of treehoppers in the family Membracidae. These are bugs and include about 100 genera in 10 tribes.
Telamona is a genus of treehoppers in the family Membracidae. There are at least 38 described species in Telamona.
Membracinae is a subfamily of treehoppers in the family Membracidae. There are more than 40 genera in Membracinae.
Bocydium is a genus of insects in the treehopper family, Membracidae. A 1999 classification identified 14 species in the genus, distributed around the Neotropics.
Platycotis is a genus of treehoppers in the family Membracidae. There are about 13 described species in Platycotis.
Enchenopa is a genus of treehoppers in the family Membracidae. There are more than 50 described species in Enchenopa.
Centrotypus is a genus of true bugs belonging to the family Membracidae.
Antonae is a genus of treehoppers in the family Membracidae.
Cladonota is a genus of neotropical treehoppers widespread from Mexico to South America. They are known for their elaborate pronotum shapes, hypothesized to play a role in camouflage or mate recognition, although their function is not yet known with certainty. Previously described as a subgenus of Sphongophorus, it was recognized as a genus of its own right after the latter was synonymized with Hypsauchenia.
Anchon is a genus of treehoppers. The name is derived from Greek: ἀγκών referring to the characteristic bend in the backward facing horn that arises vertically from the pronotum and turns at a near-right-angle over the abdomen. Two anterior horns rise outwards to the sides in many species. Species in the genus are found in the Afrotropical, Palearctic, and Indomalayan regions. They are placed in the subfamily Centrotinae.
Amastris is a genus of treehoppers belonging to the family Membracidae. It has 71 described species.
Heteronotinae is a subfamily of treehoppers belonging to the family Membracidae. All genera are placed in the single tribe, Heteronotini.
Neotynelia is a genus of treehoppers belonging to the family Membracidae. It is found in South and Central America.
Tragopa is a genus of treehoppers. It belongs to the tribe Tragopini in the subfamily Smiliinae. It contains 41 species. It was described by Pierre André Latreille in 1829.
Umbonia is a genus of bugs in the family Membracidae. The species can be mainly found in Central America and South America but can also be found in southern Florida. It contains the following species:
Heteronotus is a genus of treehoppers belonging to the subfamily Heteronotinae, of which it is the type genus. It was first described by François Laporte in 1832.
Alchisme is a genus of treehoppers within the family Membracidae. Members of this genus can be found in Central and South America.
