Fulgora
:''This article refers to the insect genus; for the Roman mythological figure, see Fulgora (mythology)'' 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). The nine species are mostly similar in appearance, with differences in the shape of the head (often quite subtle), and patterns of wing coloration. The most well-known and widespread of these species is '' Fulgora laternaria''. They can measure as long as 3 inches. There is some confusion regarding the validity of some of the currently recognised species.O'Brien, L.B. 1991(1988): New World Fulgoridae, part 1: genera with elongate head processes.

Fulgora Laternaria
The fulgorid insect ''Fulgora laternaria'' (often misspelled "lanternaria"), is a planthopper known by a large variety of common names, among them lantern fly, peanut bug, peanut-headed lanternfly, alligator bug, jequitiranaboia, machaca, chicharra-machacuy, and cocoposa. Description ''Fulgora laternaria'' can reach a length of , with a wingspan up to . This insect has a protuberance at its head as long as , looking like a peanut and showing false eyes to resemble that of a lizard or a serpent. The insect was originally - and mistakenly - believed to be luminescent. When attacked, it protects itself by displaying large, yellow, fake eyes on its hind wings to frighten the aggressor, and releases a foul-smelling substance. Adults can be found from June to December. They feed on the sap of plants, mainly from some trees as ''Hymenaea courbaril'', ''Simarouba amara'' and ''Zanthoxylum'' species. It will generally remain camouflaged on a tree trunk during the day. It will knock its ...

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 NCBI, but molecular studies question the placement of genera in the Zannini, even questioning whether they belong to the family Fulgoridae. The Hemiptera database suggests that there may be 15 genera in this subfamily in three tribes: Fulgorini Auth.: Latreille, 1807 (central and southern America) * ''Aphrodisias'' Kirkaldy, 1906 * ''Cathedra'' Kirkaldy, 1903 monotypic: '' Cathedra serrata'' * '' Diareusa'' Walker, 1858 * '' Fulgora'' Linné, 1767 (type genus) * '' Odontoptera'' Carreno, 1841 * '' Phrictus'' Spinola, 1839 Flickr - ggallice - Fulgorid.jpg, '' Fulgora'' sp.

Lantern Fly
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 t ...
