Odontoptera [1] is a genus of planthoppers in the family Fulgoridae: from Central and South America. [2]
The following species are listed: [1] [3]
Bougainvillea is a genus of thorny ornamental vines, bushes, and trees belonging to the four o' clock family, Nyctaginaceae. It is native to eastern South America, found from Brazil, west to Peru, and south to southern Argentina. Different authors accept from 4 to 22 species in the genus. The inflorescence consists of large colourful sepal-like bracts which surround three simple waxy flowers, gaining popularity for the plant as an ornamental.
Claytosmunda is a genus of fern. It has only one extant species, Claytosmunda claytoniana, the interrupted fern, native to Eastern Asia, Eastern United States, and Eastern Canada.
The family Fulgoridae is a large group of hemipteran insects, especially abundant and diverse in the tropics, containing over 125 genera worldwide. They are mostly of moderate to large size, many with a superficial resemblance to Lepidoptera due to their brilliant and varied coloration. Various genera and species are sometimes referred to as lanternflies or lanthorn flies, though they do not emit light.
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 surprisingly few are considered pests. The infraorder contains only a single superfamily, Fulgoroidea. 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.
Hervé de Toulgoët was a French entomologist. He specialised in moths of the families Arctiidae and Zygaenidae. He also studied the beetle genus Carabus. He was written about by Paul Thiaucourt and Jocelyne Navatte.
Saiva gemmata is the type species of the genus Saiva, which are lantern bugs found from the North-East of India to Indo-China. No subspecies are listed in the Catalogue of Life.
The spotted lanternfly is a planthopper indigenous to parts of China. It has spread invasively to Japan, South Korea, and the United States. Its host plants include grapes, stone fruits, and Malus species, although its preferred host is Ailanthus altissima. In its native habitat, L. delicatula populations are kept in check by parasitic wasps.
Dichoptera is a genus of planthoppers found in tropical Asia. They were formerly placed in the family Dictyopharidae but are now considered members of the family Fulgoridae.
Lycorma is a genus of planthoppers native to Asia. The first species within the genus was described by Frederick William Hope in 1843 and the genus was formally established by Carl Stål in 1863.
The Fulgorinae are a sub-family of insects in the Auchenorrhyncha: which include the spectacular "lantern-bugs" and allied insects.
Aphaena is a genus of planthoppers in the sub-family Aphaeninae of Fulgoridae. Species are distributed from eastern India, Indo-China, China and Malesia.
Polydictya is a genus of planthoppers in the sub-family Poiocerinae Haupt, 1929. Species are distributed from India, through Indo-China, to Malesia.
Aphrodisias is a Central American genus of planthoppers in the family Fulgoridae.
Saiva cardinalis is a species of lantern bug in the genus Saiva, found to the North-East of India, Nepal and Vietnam. No subspecies are listed in the Catalogue of Life.
Penthicodes variegata is a species of bugs in the sub family Aphaeninae (Fulgoridae): found in South-East Asia. It belongs to the subgenus EreosomaKirkaldy, 1906 and no subspecies are listed in the Catalogue of Life.
Penthicodes pulchella is a species of bugs in the sub family Aphaeninae (Fulgoridae): found in southern India, Indo-China and Malesia. It belongs to the subgenus EreosomaKirkaldy, 1906 and no subspecies are listed in the Catalogue of Life.
Belbina is a genus of planthoppers in the subfamily Aphaeninae (Fulgoridae) and tribe Enchophorini: species can be found in Madagascar.
Scamandra is a genus of planthoppers in the subfamily Aphaeninae (Fulgoridae): found in Malesia.
Penthicodes farinosa is a species of bugs in the sub family Aphaeninae (Fulgoridae): with five subspecies distributed in Indo-China and Malesia.
