The Infraorder Fulgoromorpha is further organized into finer groupings including:
- Family (20): Acanaloniidae · Achilidae · Achilixiidae · Cixiidae · Delphacidae · Derbidae · Dictyopharidae · Eurybrachyidae · Flatidae · Fulgoridae · Gengidae · Hypochthonellidae · Issidae · Kinnaridae · Lophopidae · Meenoplidae · Nogodinidae · Ricaniidae · Tettigometridae · Tropiduchidae
Families
Acanaloniidae
Achilidae
Achilixiidae
Cixiidae
Cixiidae is a family of insects, one of many families commonly known as planthoppers, distributed worldwide and comprising more than 2,000 species from over 150 genera. [more]
Delphacidae
Delphacidae is a family of containing about 2000 species, distributed worldwide. Delphacids are separated from other "hoppers" by the prominent spur on the tibia of the hindleg. All species are phytophagous, many occurring on various grasses, and some are important vectors for cereal pathogens. [more]
Derbidae
Derbidae is a of bugs in the suborder Auchenorrhyncha. The nymphs of some species nymph feed on fungi while adults live by sucking sap. Many adults are recognizable by their habit of holding up their wings. The short apical segment of the rostrum is identifies the family. [more]
Dictyopharidae
Eurybrachyidae
Flatidae
Fulgoridae
The family Fulgoridae is a large group of insects, especially abundant and diverse in the tropics, containing over 125 genera world-wide. They are mostly of moderate to large size, many with a superficial resemblance to Lepidoptera due to their brilliant and varied coloration. Various genera and species (especially the genera Fulgora and Pyrops) are sometimes referred to as lantern flies, though they do not emit light. [more]
Gengidae
Hypochthonellidae
Issidae
Kinnaridae
Lophopidae
Meenoplidae
Nogodinidae
Ricaniidae
The Ricaniidae is a group of hemipteran insects, containing over 40 genera and 400 species world-wide. Thus, they are one of the smaller families in the planthopper superfamily (Fulgoroidea). The highest diversity is in tropical Africa and Asia and in Australia, with a few species occurring in the Palearctic. [more]
Tettigometridae
Tropiduchidae
At least 27 species and subspecies belong to the Family Tropiduchidae.
