Hemisphaeriinae
The ''Hemisphaeriinae''Melichar L (1906) ''Monographie der Issiden. (Homoptera). Abhandlungen der K. K. Zoologisch-botanischen Gesellschaft in Wien.'' 3: 1-327. are a subfamily of bugs in the family Issidae, based on the type genus ''Hemisphaerius''. Species in 107 genera have been recorded in most continents, but the greatest diversity appears to be in South-East Asia. Tribes and Genera ''Fulgoromorpha Lists On the Web'' identifies four tribes: Hemisphaeriini Authority: Melichar, 1906 - currently thirty genera are listed from India, China, Indochina, Malesia through to New Guinea: ;subtribe Hemisphaeriina Melichar, 1906 * '' Ceratogergithus'' Gnezdilov, 2017 * '' Choutagus'' Zhang, Wang & Che, 2006 * '' Epyhemisphaerius'' Chan & Yang, 1994 * '' Gergithoides'' Schumacher, 1915 * ''Gergithus'' Stål, 1870 * ''Hemisphaerius'' Schaum, 1850 – type genus * '' Maculergithus'' Constant & Pham, 2016 * '' Neogergithoides'' Sun, Meng & Wang, 2012 * '' Neohemisphaerius'' Chen, Zhan ...

Issidae
Issidae is a family of planthoppers described by Spinola in 1839, belonging to the order Hemiptera, suborder Auchenorrhyncha superfamily Fulgoroidea. Distribution Species of this family are present throughout the Northern Hemisphere. Description Issidae are small insects generally with a stocky body, as the wings mainly develop in width. Basic body coloration is not striking, usually shows brownish colors. The head has two ocelli. The forewings have strong pronounced ribs. They wrap the abdomen when the insect is at rest. The family originally included approximately 1000 species with 215 genera, but the systematics of Issidae remains uncertain, with many of the subfamilies having been recently removed to separate families, including Caliscelidae. Nogodinidae, and Tropiduchidae. In 2013, scientists described a biologically unique set of mechanical gears in an '' Issus'' nymph, though identical structures are known in most planthoppers, and were known for decades before the func ...

Hemisphaerius
''Hemisphaerius'' is a genus of bugs in the family Issidae and tribe Hemisphaeriini. Species resemble the closely related ''Gergithus'': but are differentiated in this genus by the size of the frons Insect morphology is the study and description of the physical form of insects. The terminology used to describe insects is similar to that used for other arthropods due to their shared evolutionary history. Three physical features separate insec ... and shorter legs. Species ''Fulgoromorpha Lists On the Web'' includes: * '' Hemisphaerius affinis'' Melichar, 1914 * '' Hemisphaerius alutaceus'' Melichar, 1906 * '' Hemisphaerius ardus'' Melichar, 1906 * '' Hemisphaerius astridae'' Lallemand, 1931 * '' Hemisphaerius atromaculatus'' Distant, 1916 * '' Hemisphaerius biarcuatus'' Melichar, 1906 * '' Hemisphaerius bigeminus'' Melichar, 1906 * '' Hemisphaerius bijeminus'' Distant, 1916 * '' Hemisphaerius bimaculatus'' Che, Zhang & Wang, 2006 * '' Hemisphaerius binduseni'' Constant & Jiar ...

Gergithus
''Gergithus'' is a genus of planthoppers in the family Issidae. Like all planthoppers, adults feed on plant sap and are capable of escaping by leaping. The genus like other members in the tribe appears somewhat rounded and beetle-like, in some cases, with a mimetic resemblance to ladybird beetles. About 60 species are known in the genus and they are distributed in the Indomalayan and Palearctic Realms. Description The genus is closely related to '' Hemisphaerius'' but differs in having longer frons (forehead) and legs. The frons also lacks a median keel (carina) or tubercles on the frons, pronotum or mesonotum. The rounded tegmen which resembles the elytra An elytron (; ; , ) is a modified, hardened forewing of beetles (Coleoptera), though a few of the true bugs (Hemiptera) such as the family Schizopteridae are extremely similar; in true bugs, the forewings are called hemelytra (sometimes alterna ... of beetles are often patterned. Although some species show variations in p ...

Incertae Sedis
' () or ''problematica'' is a term used for a taxonomic group where its broader relationships are unknown or undefined. Alternatively, such groups are frequently referred to as "enigmatic taxa". In the system of open nomenclature, uncertainty at specific taxonomic levels is indicated by ' (of uncertain family), ' (of uncertain suborder), ' (of uncertain order) and similar terms. Examples *The fossil plant '' Paradinandra suecica'' could not be assigned to any family, but was placed ''incertae sedis'' within the order Ericales when described in 2001. * The fossil ''Gluteus minimus'', described in 1975, could not be assigned to any known animal phylum. The genus is therefore ''incertae sedis'' within the kingdom Animalia. * While it was unclear to which order the New World vultures (family Cathartidae) should be assigned, they were placed in Aves ''incertae sedis''. It was later agreed to place them in a separate order, Cathartiformes. * Bocage's longbill, ''Motacilla bocagii' ...
