Aphaeninae
The subfamily Aphaeninae is a group of hemipteran insects, especially abundant and diverse in the tropics. They belong to the Fulgoridae (fulgorids), though they are not among the better-known members of that family that are called "lantern bugs" or "lanternflies" (although as true bugs they are only distantly related to true flies). In 2009, the first molecular analysis of the Fulgoridae challenged the existing structure of eight currently recognized subfamilies and eleven tribes. Aphaeninae contain a number of well-sized fulgorids. If seen flying at a distance, they can be mistaken for Lepidoptera, as they are large winged and boldly patterned, although usually not as colorful as some other fulgorids. The future of the Aphaeninae as a subfamily is unclear since the species assigned to it are interlineated in the molecular analysis with species of other Fulgoridae subfamilies. The tribe Enchophorini, previously placed here, has been raised to a subfamily. Tribes and genera ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
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, though they do not emit light. The head of some species is produced into a hollow process (structure), 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 ...

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'' (now a subspecies of ''L. imperialis''), 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, th ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Penthicodes
''Penthicodes'' is a genus of planthoppers belonging to the family Fulgoridae, subfamily Aphaeninae: found in South-East Asia. The genus name was formerly treated as feminine, but in 2022 it was revised to masculine in accordance with ICZN Article 30.1.4.4,ICZN Code 30.1.4.4. A compound genus-group name ending in the suffix ''-ites, -oides, -ides, -odes'', or ''-istes'' is to be treated as masculine unless its author, when establishing the name, stated that it had another gender or treated it as such by combining it with an adjectival species-group name in another gender form. changing the spelling of several species' names.Kawin Jiaranaisakul & Jérôme Constant (2022) New records of ''Penthicodes'' lanternfly species from Thailand and Malaysia and nomenclatural notes on the genus (Hemiptera: Fulgoromorpha: Fulgoridae).
