Smiliinae is a subfamily of treehoppers in the family Membracidae. These are bugs and include about 100 genera (and 4 unorganized genera) in 10 tribes. [1]
These genera belong to the subfamily Smiliinae: [2]
The buffalo treehopper is a species of treehopper belonging to the subfamily Smiliinae. It is sometimes classified as Ceresa bisonia.
Cercopidae are the largest family of Cercopoidea, a xylem-feeding insect group, commonly called froghoppers or spittlebugs. They belong to the hemipteran suborder Auchenorrhyncha. A 2023 phylogenetic study of the family suggested the elevation of subfamily Ischnorhininae to full family status as Ischnorhinidae, leaving a monophyletic Cercopinae.
Flatidae are a family of fulgoroid planthoppers. They are cosmopolitan in distribution and are distinguished from others in the superfamily by a combination of characters. Like all other planthoppers, they suck phloem sap of plants. Some species are known to communicate with vibrations through the plant stems. Communication may be with mates, or with ants that tend the nymphs, protecting them and gathering honeydew secretions. Adults of some species have brightly coloured forewings which are tougher and known as tegmina unlike the membranous hindwings which are used for flight. Although a few can be identified by their coloration, most species requires dissection and examination under a microscope with access to literature on already described species.
Issidae is a family of planthoppers described by Spinola in 1839, belonging to the order Hemiptera, suborder Auchenorrhyncha superfamily Fulgoroidea.
Stegaspidinae is a subfamily of treehoppers in the family Membracidae.
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.
Membracis is a genus of treehoppers in the family Membracidae. There are more than 50 described species in Membracis.
Enchenopa is a genus of treehoppers in the family Membracidae. There are more than 50 described species in Enchenopa.
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 in 1997 after the latter was synonymized with Hypsauchenia.
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.
Adippe is a genus of treehoppers belonging to the tribe Polyglyptini, in the subfamily Smiliinae, that contains 8 species.
Lycoderes is a genus of treehoppers belonging to the subfamily Stegaspidinae. It was first described by the German entomologist Ernst Friedrich Germar in 1835, and contains 18 species.
Thrasymedes is a genus of treehoppers belonging to the subfamily Smiliinae. It was described by George Willis Kirkaldy in 1904.
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:
Paraceresa is a genus of treehoppers belonging to the subfamily Smiliinae. It contains 11 species.
Alchisme is a genus of treehoppers within the family Membracidae. Members of this genus can be found in Central and South America.
