The poorly-known genus Conosimus Mulsant et Rey, 1855 (Hemiptera: Fulgoroidea: Issidae) includes six species and is briefly reviewed. Adults and fifth instars of a new species, Conosimus baenai n sp., are described and compared with other species in the genus. The new species is associated with an endemic shrub, Echinospartum boissieri, in Jaen, Spain, in the south of the Iberian Peninsula, one...

The new tribe Patollini trib. n. of the Tropiduchidae with the extinct genus Patollo gen. n., comprising two species Patollo natangorum sp. n. and P. aestiorum sp. n. from Eocene Baltic amber is described. Taxonomic placement of some fossil taxa ascribed to Tropiduchidae is discussed. The classification of Tropiduchidae is discussed, as well as phylogenetic position and fossil record of Tropidu...

One new species of the delphacid genus Kakuna Matsumura, Kakunataibaiensis Ren & Qin, sp. n. is described from Mt. Taibai in Shaanxi Province, China. Dicranotropismontana (Horvath, 1897) is reported for the first time from China. Habitus photos and illustrations of male genitalia of the two species are given.

A new genus Tetricodissus gen. nov. with one new species Tetricodissus pandlineus sp. nov. from Yunnan Province, China, is described and illustrated in the tribe Parahiraciini of planthopper family Issidae. Fortunia jianfenglingensis Chen, Zhang & Chang, 2014 is transferred into the genus Bardunia Stål, 1863. A key to genera of the tribe Parahiraciini is provided and the taxonomic position of t...

Descriptions of the immature stages of Taosa (Cuernavaca) longula Remes Lenicov (Hemiptera: Fulgoroidea: Dictyopharidae) and a key for their identification is provided for specimens collected on the water hyacinth, Eichhornia crassipes (Martius) Solms-Laubach (Commelinales: Pontederiaceae), in northeastern Argentina and Peru. Newly emerged nymphs from eggs collected in the field were reared in ...

Aboveground Hemiptera and Orthoptera communities were compared among three native and three restored mesic tallgrass prairies along the Platte River in central Nebraska to assess both the relative success of restored sites and the relationship between insect and plant communities. Hemiptera and Orthoptera were sampled using sweep nets in early June, mid-July, and mid-August 2000. Plant species ...

Studies on endemism are always of high interest in biogeography and contribute to better understanding the evolution species making conservation plans. The present study aimed investigate patterns planthoppers China by delimiting centers areas endemism. We collected 6,907 spatial distribution records for 860 endemic planthopper from various resources. Centers were identified using weighted valu...
