Platybrachys is a genus of Australian Fulgoromorph planthoppers within the family Eurybrachidae. [1]
Fulgoromorpha Lists on the Web [2] includes the following species: [1]
In October 2023, Platybrachys signataDistant, 1892 was reassigned as the type species of the new genus Kamabrachys Constant. [3]
Ancyra is a small genus of planthoppers of the family Eurybrachidae and the only genus in the tribe Ancyrini. Species in this genus occur in southeast Asia.
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.
Eurybrachidae is a small family of planthoppers with species occurring in parts of Asia, Australia and Africa. They are remarkable for the sophistication of their automimicry.
Pyrops is a genus of planthoppers that occur primarily in southeast Asia, containing about 70 species. They are fairly large insects, with much of the length due to an elongated, upcurving, snout-like projection of the head. The wings are generally brightly patterned in contrasting colors, and they are popular among collectors.
The subfamily Aphaeninae is a group of hemipteran insects, especially abundant and diverse in the tropics. They belong to the Fulgoridae (fulgorids), though they are not among the better-known members of that family that are called "lantern bugs" or "lanternflies". In 2009, the first molecular analysis of the Fulgoridae challenged the existing structure of eight currently recognized subfamilies and eleven tribes.
Issidae is a family of planthoppers described by Spinola in 1839, belonging to the order Hemiptera, suborder Auchenorrhyncha superfamily Fulgoroidea.
Penthicodes is a genus of planthoppers belonging to the family Fulgoridae, subfamily Aphaeninae: found in South-East Asia. The genus name was formerly treated as feminine, but in 2022 it was revised to masculine in accordance with ICZN Article 30.1.4.4, changing the spelling of several species' names.
Gergithus is a genus of tropical Asian planthoppers in the family Issidae, erected by Carl Stål in 1870. Like all planthoppers, adults feed on plant sap and are capable of escaping by leaping. The genus like other members in the tribe appears somewhat rounded and beetle-like, in some cases, with a mimetic resemblance to ladybird beetles. Species are mostly distributed in the Indomalayan Realm.
Desudaba is a genus of bugs in the family Fulgoridae, tribe Poiocerini and subtribe Calyptoproctina Metcalf, 1938. Records are from Australia and New Guinea.
Scamandra is a genus of planthoppers in the subfamily Aphaeninae (Fulgoridae): found in Malesia.
Pyrilla is a genus of bugs in the subfamily Lophopinae and tribe Lophopini.
Hariola is a genus of planthoppers in the tribe Laternariini. The two known species are both found in New Guinea.
Hemisphaerius is a genus of bugs in the family Issidae and tribe Hemisphaeriini. Species resemble the closely related Gergithus: but are differentiated in this genus by the size of the frons and shorter legs.
The Hemisphaeriinae are a subfamily of bugs in the family Issidae, based on the type genus Hemisphaerius. Species in 119 genera have been recorded in most continents, but the greatest diversity appears to be in South-East Asia.
Eurybrachys is a genus of bugs in the family Eurybrachidae. First formally named in 1834 by French entomologist Félix Édouard Guérin-Méneville, Eurybrachys is the type genus of the family Eurybrachidae. The spelling Eurybrachis, by the author, is considered an unaccepted orthographic variant. Species in this genus occur in Asia.
Pochazia is a genus of true bugs belonging to the family Ricaniidae.
Tropiduchus is a genus of planthoppers, recorded from Africa and Malesia.
Mnemosyne is a genus of planthoppers in the subfamily Cixiinae, erected by Carl Stål in 1866; it is the only extant type genus of the tribe Mnemosynini. Species are recorded from: South America, Africa, the Indian subcontinent, SE Asia and Australia.
Hackerobrachys is an Australian genus of planthoppers in the family Eurybrachidae. It has only one species, Hackerobrachys viridiventris, making it a monotypic taxon. This species was originally described as Olonia viridiventris in 1863 by Carl Stål, and was reassigned to the new genus Hackerobrachys in 2006 by Jérôme Constant.
Limois is a genus of Asian bugs in the subfamily Aphaeninae and tribe Limoisini, erected by Carl Stål in 1863. Species have been recorded from: West Himalayas, Bangladesh, China, Korea, Russia, Myanmar and Vietnam.
