Paranipeus is a genus of issid planthopper containing one species, Paranipeus latipes, native to Brazil. [1] [2] [3]
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 few are considered pests. The infraorder contains 2 superfamily, Fulgoroidea and Delphacoidea. 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.
The family Derbidae is a large and diverse group of planthoppers, widely distributed in the tropics and also found in subtropical and temperate regions. It includes more than 150 genera and more than 1500 species. The adults suck the sap of plants while the nymphs live mainly in decaying organic matter, for example under the bark of dead tree trunks, feeding on fungi. In some groups of species the general structure of the insects is largely uniform, whereas in others like in the subfamily Otiocerinae various forms can be found. For example, the shape of the head, the antennae or the wings can differ considerably among genera and species.
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.
Issidae is a family of planthoppers described by Spinola in 1839, belonging to the order Hemiptera, suborder Auchenorrhyncha superfamily Fulgoroidea.
Achilidae is a family of planthoppers, sometimes called "achilids" in the order Hemiptera. There are at least 520 described species in Achilidae.
Aplos is a genus of issid planthopper with only one species, Aplos simplex. It can be found in most of the Eastern United States and is now found as an invasive species in Northern Italy and Austria. Aplos simplex was formerly listed under the genus Thionia.
Tropiduchinae is a subfamily of tropiduchid planthoppers in the family Tropiduchidae.
Acanaloniidae is a family of planthoppers. It is sometimes treated as a subfamily of Issidae.
Dictyophara europaea, is the type species of planthoppers belonging to the subgenus Dictyophara (Dictyophara): in the family Dictyopharidae, and tribe Dictyopharini.
Thionia bullata is a species of issid planthopper in the family Issidae. It can be found in the United States. Pine trees, specifically Pinus taeda, Pinus echinata, and Pinus virginiana species, are its host plant.
Thionia quinquata is a species of issid planthopper in the family Issidae.
Thionia elliptica is a species of issid planthopper in the family Issidae.
Waorania is the only genus of issid planthopper in the subtribe Waoraniina. The first two species in the genus were discovered in the forests of Ecuador.
Amnisa is a genus of issid planthopper in the family Issidae and are native to Brazil.
Diceroptera is a genus of issid planthopper with one species, Diceroptera humboldti. It can be found in Venezuela.
Dracela is a genus of issid planthopper in the family Issidae and can be found in northern South America and southern Central America.
Oronoqua is a genus of issid planthopper in the family Issidae and can be found in the northern Neotropics. The difference in fore and hind wing venations between species of Oronoqua and the other genera in Thioniini led to a subtribe Oronoquina being erected.
Proteinissus is a genus of planthopper in the family Issidae, found in Mexico.
Thioniamorpha is a genus of issid planthopper with one species, Thioniamorpha marmorata, found in Panama.
Thioniella is a genus of issid planthopper with one species, Thioniella rugosa, found in Panama.
