Delphacidae
Delphacidae is a family of planthoppers containing about 2000 species, distributed worldwide. Delphacids are separated from other "hoppers" by the prominent spur on the tibia of the hindleg. Diet and Pest species All species are phytophagous, many occurring on various grasses. Some species are significant pests and important vectors for cereal pathogens; for example: * The rice brown planthopper, ''Nilaparvata lugens'' (Stål) * The white-backed planthopper (rice), ''Sogatella furcifera'' (Horváth, 1899) * The sugarcane planthopper, ''Perkinsiella saccharicida'' Kirkaldy, 1903 Subfamilies, tribes and selected genera ''Fulgoromorpha Lists On the Web'' includes the following tribes and genera (complete lists where tribe unassigned): Asiracinae Auth.: Motschulsky, 1863 * Tribe Asiracini Motschulsky, 1863 * Tribe Eodelphacini Emeljanov, 1995 * Tribe Idiosystatini Emeljanov, 1995 * Tribe Neopunanini Emeljanov, 1995 * Tribe Platysystatini Emeljanov, 1995 * Tribe Tetrasteirini E ...

Strepsiptera
The Strepsiptera are an order of insects with eleven extant families that include about 600 described species. They are endoparasites in other insects, such as bees, wasps, leafhoppers, silverfish, and cockroaches. Females of most species never emerge from the host after entering its body, finally dying inside it. The early-stage larvae do emerge because they must find an unoccupied living host, and the short-lived males must emerge to seek a receptive female in her host. They are believed to be most closely related to beetles, from which they diverged 300–350 million years ago, but do not appear in the fossil record until the mid-Cretaceous around 100 million years ago. The order is not well known to non-specialists, and the nearest they have to a common name is stylops. The name of the order translates to "twisted wing"', giving rise to other common names used for the order, twisted-wing insects and twisted-winged parasites. Adult males are rarely observed, although specimen ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Insects Described In 1953
Insects (from Latin ') are pancrustacean hexapod invertebrates of the class Insecta. They are the largest group within the arthropod phylum. Insects have a chitinous exoskeleton, a three-part body (head, thorax and abdomen), three pairs of jointed legs, compound eyes and one pair of antennae. Their blood is not totally contained in vessels; some circulates in an open cavity known as the haemocoel. Insects are the most diverse group of animals; they include more than a million described species and represent more than half of all known living organisms. The total number of extant species is estimated at between six and ten million; In: potentially over 90% of the animal life forms on Earth are insects. Insects may be found in nearly all environments, although only a small number of species reside in the oceans, which are dominated by another arthropod group, crustaceans, which recent research has indicated insects are nested within. Nearly all insects hatch from eggs. Insect ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
