Myerslopiidae
Myerslopiidae is a family of tree-hoppers which consist of about 20 species in three genera with a distribution limited to New Zealand and Chile. Adult hoppers have a strongly sclerotized body with elytra-like tegmina meeting along the median. The hindwing is undeveloped. Based on observations on '' Mapuchea chilensis'', they are thought to feed on phloem sap. They were formerly mistakenly placed as a tribe within the Ulopinae ( Cicadellidae) by Evans and then raised to subfamily rank before being moved to a different suborder.
