Fulgoridae
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 (especially the genera ''Fulgora'' and ''Pyrops'') are sometimes referred to as lanternflies or lanthorn flies. The head of some species is produced into a hollow process (anatomy), process, resembling a snout, which is sometimes inflated and nearly as large as the body of the insect, sometimes elongated, narrow and apically upturned. It was believed, mainly on the authority of Maria Sibylla Merian, that this process, the so-called lantern, was luminous at night in the living insect. Carl Linnaeus adopted the statement without question and coined a number of specific names, such as ''laternaria'', ''phosphorea'' and ''candelaria'' to illustrate the supposed fact, and thus ...

Pyrops
''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. Species The genus has been divided into several species groups: Candelaria group '' Pyrops lathburii'' *'' Pyrops aeruginosus'' (Stål, 1870) *'' Pyrops agusanensis'' (Baker, 1925) *'' Pyrops atroalbus'' (Distant, 1918) *'' Pyrops auratus'' Constant, 2021 *'' Pyrops azureus'' Constant & Mohan, 2017 *'' Pyrops buomvoi'' Constant & Pham, 2022 *'' Pyrops candelaria'' (Linnaeus, 1758) – type species *'' Pyrops coelestinus'' (Stål, 1863) *'' Pyrops condorinus'' (Lallemand, 1960) *'' Pyrops connectens'' (Atkinson, 1885) *'' Pyrops curtiprora'' (Butler, 1874) - Actually a ''Saiva'' species. *'' Pyrops delessertii'' (Guerin-Meneville, 1840) *'' Pyrops d ...

Lycorma
''Lycorma'' is a genus of planthoppers native to Asia. The first species within the genus was described by Frederick William Hope in 1843 and the genus was formally established by Carl Stål in 1863. ''L. delicatula'', known as the spotted lanternfly, is an invasive species in the United States, Japan, and South Korea. Discovery and taxonomy The genus ''Lycorma'' is in the planthopper family Fulgoridae, subfamily Aphaeninae. Species within this genus are native to Asia. Frederick William Hope, in 1843, described ''Lystra punicea'', the first named species of the clade. In 1845, Adam White classified two new species under the genus '' Aphaena'', ''Aphaena imperialis'' and ''Aphaena delicatula''. White described the species as similar to '' Aphaena variegata'', another planthopper species native to Asia, and referenced prior descriptions by George Tradescant Lay in his initial classification of the lanternflies. Between 1846 and 1863, the species were reclassified by both J ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Aphaeninae
The subfamily Aphaeninae is a group of hemipteran insects, especially abundant and diverse in the tropics, in the family Fulgoridae, or "lanternflies". The future of the Aphaeninae as a subfamily is unclear since the taxa assigned to it do not form a monophyletic group in recent molecular analyses. The tribe Enchophorini, previously placed here, has been raised to a subfamily. Tribes and genera Recent research has resulted in the reclassification of the former tribe Enchophorini to a separate subfamily (e.g. ), while the tribe Pyropsini is now included here (e.g.,).

Zanninae
''Zanna'' is a genus of tropical planthoppers (family Fulgoridae) found in Asia and Africa, now belonging to the monotypic subfamily Zanninae. Taxonomy The tribe Zannini previously contained other genera, but its placement was the subject to debate: it is now the only genus and placed in the Zanninae at the sub-family level. However, although currently placed in the family Fulgoridae, molecular studies question this placement, as the genus is sister taxon to the Dictyopharidae and Fulgoridae combined, rather than Fulgoridae alone. Description The forewings are bodies are mostly grey with black speckling, and they have a long head process with small lateral spines and some folds on the surface.

Fulgorinae
The Fulgorinae are a sub-family of insects in the Auchenorrhyncha: which include the spectacular "lantern-bugs" and allied insects. Tribes and genera Nine genera are currently listed by the National Center for Biotechnology Information, NCBI, but molecular studies question the placement of genera in the Zannini, even questioning whether they belong to the family Fulgoridae. There have until recently been two tribes placed within Fulgorinae, but recent research suggests that the tribe Pyropsini should instead be placed within the subfamily Aphaeninae (e.g.,Jiaranaisakul, Kawin & Constant, Jérôme & Pinkaew, Nantasak.

Planthopper (Auchalea Pandora) (8350745330)
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] |

Fulgora
The fulgorid genus ''Fulgora'' contains several large Central and South American planthoppers known by a large variety of common names including lantern fly, peanut bug, peanut-headed lanternfly, alligator bug, machaca, and jequitiranaboia (the latter terms used in the Amazon region and elsewhere in Brazil). Species Species are mostly similar in appearance, with differences in the shape of the head (often quite subtle), and patterns of wing coloration; there is some confusion regarding the validity of some of the currently recognised species. Some individuals can measure up to 75 mm (3 inches). The type species of ''Fulgora'' is ''Cicada laternaria'' Linnaeus 1758, designated under the Plenary Powers by ICZN (1954185; now '' Fulgora laternaria'', it is the most well-known and widespread species.
