Flatinae
The Flatinae are a subfamily of planthoppers, erected by Maximilian Spinola in 1839. Genera have been recorded from all continents except Antarctica: especially in tropical and subtropical regions. Description Like all other planthoppers, they suck phloem from plants. The antennae are small and the second segment is longer and ends in a bulge and a flagellum arises from it. They have two ocelli and nymphs have a tail of waxy filaments. Of the two sub-families in the Flatidae, the bodies of adult Flatinae are flattened laterally and the tegmina are tent-like (unlike the Flatoidinae, where the body is not laterally compressed and the tegmina are not as tent-like).

Flatidae Wynaad
Flatidae are a family of fulgoroid planthoppers. They are cosmopolitan in distribution and are distinguished from others in the superfamily by a combination of characters. Like all other planthoppers, they suck phloem sap of plants. Some species are known to communicate with vibrations through the plant stems. Communication may be with mates, or with ants that tend the nymphs, protecting them and gathering honeydew secretions. Adults of some species have brightly coloured forewings which are tougher and known as tegmina unlike the membranous hindwings which are used for flight. Although a few can be identified by their coloration, most species requires dissection and examination under a microscope with access to literature on already described species. There are two sub-families within the family. In the subfamily Flatinae, the body of adults is flattened laterally and the tegmina are tent-like. In the Flatoidinae, the body is not laterally compressed and the tegmina are not ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Flata
''Flata'' is the type genus of planthoppers in the family Flatidae and tribe Flatini (subtribe Flatina), erected by Johan Christian Fabricius in 1798. Species are recorded from subtropical and tropical Asia including India, China, Indochina and Malesia (but records are probably incomplete). Status and Description The genus ''Flata'' has historically included more than two hundred species, many of which have subsequently been transferred to other genera and families. Three non-oriental species currently included here are "of uncertain generic affinity".Peng L, Fletcher MJ, Zhang Y-L (2012) Review of the Oriental planthopper genus Flata Fabricius (Hemiptera: Fulgoroidea: Flatidae) with the description of five new species.
