Planthoppers
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 ...

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 (arthropod leg), 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 Tribe (biology), 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 Emel ...
