Platypleura
''Platypleura'' is a genus of cicadas that occurs widely across Africa and southern Asia. Some of the South African species are remarkable for their endothermic thermoregulation that enables crepuscular signalling, an adaptation that reduces risk of predation and enables a greater range for their calls. In field experiments their maximum body temperature while calling at dusk, was measured at 22 °C above ambient temperature. The Platypleurini are distributed from the Cape in South Africa, throughout sub-Saharan Africa and Madagascar, through India and south East Asia, to Japan. The faunas of West Africa and Madagascar are distinctive, while those of southern and east Africa resemble the Asian group. Endothermy occurs in several large-bodied South American and South African species, but not in related small-bodied species. List of species *''Platypleura affinis'' ( Fabricius, 1803) *''Platypleura afzelii'' Stål, 1854 *''Platypleura albigera'' Walker, 1850 – Western Cape, ...

Jean Guillaume Audinet-Serville
Jean Guillaume Audinet-Serville (; his name, before the French Revolution, Revolution, included a Nobiliary particle, particle: Audinet de Serville) was a French entomologist, born on 11 November 1775 in Paris. He died on 27 March 1858 in La Ferté-sous-Jouarre. He was introduced to entomology by Madame de Grostête-Tigny who was fascinated, like her husband, by chemistry and insects. Through her, Audinet-Serville met Pierre André Latreille (1762–1833). Latreille worked with him on the ''Dictionnaire des Insectes de l’Encyclopédie méthodique'' ("The Methodical Encyclopedia Dictionary of Insects"). Then, working with Guillaume-Antoine Olivier (1756–1814), he finished the book ''Faune française'' ("French Fauna") in 1830. Audinet-Serville is particularly known for his work on the Orthoptera. He published, ''Revue méthodique de l’ordre des Orthoptères'' ("Methodical Review of the Order of Orthoptera") which appeared in ''Annales des sciences naturelles'' in 1831. Then, ...

Charles Jean-Baptiste Amyot
Charles Jean-Baptiste Amyot (23 September 1799, in Vendreeuv – 13 October 1866, in Paris) was a French lawyer and entomologist especially interested in the Hemiptera. After his father died, Amyot lived with a neighbor, a wealthy merchant, who was also an entomologist, Jean Guillaume Audinet-Serville. They become life-long friends, and Audinet-Serville advised Amyot to specialize in the Hemiptera, which at the time was being ignored by serious entomologists. In 1822, Amyot became a lawyer, but he continued to study the Hemiptera. In 1833, he published a work on civil law, ''Institutes, ou Principes des lois civiles'' (''Institutes, or the principles of civil law''). In 1843, together with Audinet-Serville, he published ''Histoire naturelle des insectes hémiptères'' (''The Natural History of the Hemiptera Insects''). Amyot was also interested in applied entomology and wrote several publications devoted to insect pests and how to fight them. Amyot later became the president of ...
