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 ...

Hylocharis
''Hylocharis'' is a genus of hummingbirds, in the family Trochilidae. It contains two species that are both found in South America. Taxonomy The genus ''Hylocharis'' was introduced in 1831 by the German naturalist Friedrich Boie. The type species was designated by the English zoologist George Robert Gray in 1840 as the rufous-throated sapphire. The genus name combines the Ancient Greek ''hulē'' meaning "woodland" or "forest" with ''kharis'' meaning "beauty". This genus formerly included additional species. A molecular phylogenetic study published in 2014 found that the genus ''Hylocharis'' was polyphyletic. In the revised classification to create monophyletic genera, species were moved to ''Chrysuronia'' and ''Chlorestes''. The genus now contains the following two species: * Rufous-throated sapphire (''Hylocharis sapphirina'') * Gilded sapphire The gilded sapphire (''Hylocharis chrysura''), also known as the gilded hummingbird, is a species of hummingbird in the "emeral ...
