Mileewinae
Mileewinae is a small Subfamily (biology), subfamily in the family Cicadellidae (leafhoppers). It is closely related to Typhlocybinae and contains species that were previously part of Cicadellinae. Description Mileewinae leafhoppers are small, slender, and usually quite dark in colouration, with blue and yellow accents. They often rest with their wings unfolded, unlike most leafhoppers. Distribution Members of the subfamily are found feeding on Dicotyledon herb , herbs in the Afrotropical, Indomalayan, Neotropical, and Australian realm , Australian realms. Tribes and genera There are four Tribe (biology), tribes in the subfamily. Makilingini Erected by Evans in 1947. A monotypic tribe found in the Indomalayan realm. * ''Makilingia'' Baker, 1914 Mileewini Erected by Evans in 1947. They are found throughout the entire range of the subfamily. * ''Amahuaka'' Melichar, 1926 * ''Archeguina'' Young, 1993 * ''Eomileewa'' Gebicki & Szwedo, 2001 * ''Mileewa'' Distant, 1908 * ''Teniwit ...

John William Evans (entomologist)
John William Evans (16 January 1906 – 1990) was a British entomologist who worked as an entomology in Australia and served as director of the Australian Museum from 1954 to 1966. He was a specialist on the Hemiptera, especially the leafhoppers, and took an interest in aspects of biogeography and evolution. Evans was born in India and went to Jesus College, Cambridge to study geology, botany and zoology, graduating in 1926. He then moved to Australia to study sharks and then joined the newly created CSIR (now called the CSIRO). He studied '' Cactoblastus'' on prickly pear. He then worked at the Cawthron Institute in New Zealand. He married Faith, the second daughter of the director, entomologist R.J. Tillyard. He moved to the Imperial Bureau of Entomology, Farnham to study ''Trichogramma ''Trichogramma'' is a genus of minute polyphagous wasps that are endoparasitoids of insect eggs. ''Trichogramma'' is one of around 80 genera from the family Trichogrammatidae, with over 200 spe ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Tribe (biology)
In biology, a tribe is a taxonomic rank above genus, but below family and subfamily. It is sometimes subdivided into subtribes. By convention, all taxonomic ranks from genus upwards are capitalized, including both tribe and subtribe. In zoology, the standard ending for the name of a zoological tribe is "-ini". Examples include the tribes Caprini (goat-antelopes), Hominini (hominins), Bombini (bumblebees), and Thunnini (tunas). The tribe Hominini is divided into subtribes by some scientists; subtribe Hominina then comprises "humans". The standard ending for the name of a zoological subtribe is "-ina". In botany, the standard ending for the name of a botanical tribe is "-eae". Examples include the tribes Acalypheae and Hyacintheae. The tribe Hyacintheae is divided into subtribes, including the subtribe Massoniinae. The standard ending for the name of a botanical subtribe is "-inae". In bacteriology, the form of tribe names is as in botany, e.g., Pseudomonadeae, based on the ge ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
