Synecdoche (planthopper)
''Synecdoche'' is a genus of planthoppers comprising 22 described species in the family Achilidae. All species are New World in distribution, primarily Nearctic. Their immature stages (nymphs) are commonly encountered associated with fungus (usually in logs). Species These 22 species belong to the genus ''Synecdoche'': * ''Synecdoche albicosta'' (Van Duzee, 1917) * ''Synecdoche autumnalis'' O'Brien, 1971 * ''Synecdoche bifoveata'' O'Brien, 1971 * ''Synecdoche cara'' (Van Duzee, 1910) * ''Synecdoche clara'' (Van Duzee, 1917) * ''Synecdoche constellata'' (Ball, 1933) * ''Synecdoche costata'' (Van Duzee, 1910) * ''Synecdoche dimidiata'' (Van Duzee, 1910) * ''Synecdoche flavicosta'' O'Brien, 1971 * ''Synecdoche fusca'' (Van Duzee, 1908) * ''Synecdoche grisea'' (Van Duzee, 1908) * ''Synecdoche helenae'' (Van Duzee, 1918) * ''Synecdoche hypenor'' Fennah, 1978 * ''Synecdoche impunctata'' (Fitch, 1851) * ''Synecdoche irrorata'' (Van Duzee, 1914) * ''Synecdoche necopina'' (Van Duzee, 1918 ...

Planthopper
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. Fulgoromorphs 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. Overview Planthoppers are laterally flattened and hold their broad wings vertically, in a tent-like fashion, concealing the sides of the body and part of the legs. Nymphs of many planthoppers produce wax from ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
