Species
In biology, a species is the basic unit of classification and a taxonomic rank of an organism, as well as a unit of biodiversity. A species is often defined as the largest group of organisms in which any two individuals of the appropriate sexes or mating types can produce fertile offspring, typically by sexual reproduction. Other ways of defining species include their karyotype, DNA sequence, morphology, behaviour or ecological niche. In addition, paleontologists use the concept of the chronospecies since fossil reproduction cannot be examined. The most recent rigorous estimate for the total number of species of eukaryotes is between 8 and 8.7 million. However, only about 14% of these had been described by 2011. All species (except viruses) are given a two-part name, a "binomial". The first part of a binomial is the genus to which the species belongs. The second part is called the specific name or the specific epithet (in botanical nomenclature, also sometimes i ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Delphacid
Delphacidae is a family of planthoppers containing about 2000 species, distributed worldwide. Delphacids are separated from other "hoppers" by the prominent spur on the tibia of the hindleg. Diet and Pest species All species are phytophagous, many occurring on various grasses. Some species are significant pests and important vectors for cereal pathogens; for example: * The rice brown planthopper, ''Nilaparvata lugens'' (Stål) * The white-backed planthopper (rice), '' Sogatella furcifera'' (Horváth, 1899) * The sugarcane planthopper, '' Perkinsiella saccharicida'' Kirkaldy, 1903 Subfamilies, tribes and selected genera ''Fulgoromorpha Lists On the Web'' includes the following tribes and genera (complete lists where tribe unassigned): Asiracinae Auth.: Motschulsky, 1863 * Tribe Asiracini Motschulsky, 1863 * Tribe Eodelphacini Emeljanov, 1995 * Tribe Idiosystatini Emeljanov, 1995 * Tribe Neopunanini Emeljanov, 1995 * Tribe Platysystatini Emeljanov, 1995 * Tribe Tetrasteirini Emel ...

Planthopper
A planthopper is any insect in the infraorder Fulgoromorpha, in the suborder Auchenorrhyncha, a group exceeding 12,500 described species worldwide. The name comes from their remarkable resemblance to leaves and other plants of their environment and that they often "hop" for quick transportation in a similar way to that of grasshoppers. However, planthoppers generally walk very slowly. Distributed worldwide, all members of this group are plant-feeders, though surprisingly few are considered pests. The infraorder contains only a single superfamily, Fulgoroidea. Fulgoroids are most reliably distinguished from the other Auchenorrhyncha by two features; the bifurcate ("Y"-shaped) anal vein in the forewing, and the thickened, three-segmented antennae, with a generally round or egg-shaped second segment (pedicel) that bears a fine filamentous arista. Overview Planthoppers are laterally flattened and hold their broad wings vertically, in a tent-like fashion, concealing the sides of t ...
