Jamella Australiae
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 ...

Flatida Rosea
''Flatida rosea'', the flower-spike bug or the flatid leaf bug, is a species of planthopper in the family Flatidae. It is found in Madagascar dry deciduous forests, tropical dry forests in Madagascar, and the adult insects are gregarious, the groups orienting themselves in such a way that they resemble a flower spike. The adults have wide pink wings which they hold vertically in a tent-like fashion, concealing the whole body. The nymphs have no wings, but can move about, and are defensively covered in wispy white wax, with a plume of waxy tendrils. Like other bugs in this family, both adults and nymphs feed by piercing the bark with their mouthparts and sucking sap from the phloem. The adults are mobile, and can jump if disturbed. ''Flatida rosea'' feed on the liana ''Elachyptera minimiflora''. The Nymph (biology), nymphs produce copious quantities of Honeydew (secretion), honeydew and the Coquerel's coua (''Coua coquerelii'') feeds on this. References External links

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.

Metcalfa
''Metcalfa'' is a genus of planthoppers in the Flatidae family and the tribe Nephesini. Species are essentially North American in origin, but ''M. pruinosa'' has been introduced to Europe (including Britain).

Siphanta
''Siphanta'' is a genus of planthoppers in the family Flatidae. Description In adults of ''Siphanta'', the frons is slightly convex to flat, has a median longitudinal carina and either lacks lateral carinae or these are very short. The vertex meets the frons at a carinate margin. The pronotum is flat medially and has lateral carinae that curve posterolaterally and do not reach the posterior margin. The posterior margin of the pronotum is broadly concave. The mesonotum is also flat medially (occasionally with a faint median carina) and has two lateral carinae. The forewing (tegmen) is triangular, lacks apical lines and has a sutural angle that ranges from obtusely rounded to slightly acute. The tibia of the hind leg bears one spine. Diet Like other planthoppers, ''Siphanta'' are herbivores. ''Siphanta acuta'' is polyphagous, meaning it feeds on a wide range of plants. It is a pest of banana, citrus, coffee, guava, macadamia and various ornamental plants. ''Siphanta gregaria'' ...

Oryxa
''Oryxa'' is a genus of planthoppers in the hemipteran family Flatidae. They live on the islands of Borneo and Sumatra, and in Malaysia. The genus was established in 1902 by Leopold Melichar in his monograph of the families Acanaloniidae and Flatidae. Melichar designated Carl Linnaeus' ''O. truncata'' to be the type species of his new genus, but Melichar's specimens were not of the species described by Linnaeus. A replacement name In biological nomenclature, a ''nomen novum'' (Latin for "new name"), new replacement name (or replacement name, new substitute name, substitute name) is a scientific name that is created specifically to replace another scientific name, but only w ... of '' Oryxa melichari'' was therefore chosen for Melichar's species; the status of Linnaeus' species remains unclear.
