Pyropsini
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.,).

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 ...

Aphaena Submaculata
''Aphaena submaculata'' is a species of planthoppers in the sub-family Aphaeninae of Fulgoridae. Various subspecies are distributed throughout the Indo-China region. The species was first observed by Frederick William Hope in 1840 and was formally described by James Duncan in 1843. Since then, it has undergone multiple reclassifications and now has 3 recognized subspecies which differ by color and/or length. The species feeds on tree sap via specialized mouthparts and follows a hemimetabolous life cycle. Taxonomy and discovery ''Aphaena submaculata'' is a species of ''fulgoridea'' planthopper. The earliest account of the species comes from 1840 when entomologist Frederick William Hope described the species as ''Aphana submaculata,'' a ''nomen nudum.'' ''Aphaena submaculata'' was formally described by James Duncan in 1843.Duncan J. 1843 - Homoptera.
