Poblicia texana
Poblicia texana is a large planthopper in the family Fulgoridae, described by Oman in 1936. The species was formerly placed in the genus Angulapteryx but is now accepted as Poblicia texana. Members of this genus are among the largest North American planthoppers, combining the hopping capabilities of smaller planthoppers with body size approaching that of small cicadas. The genus Poblicia includes only two species known to occur as far north as Missouri, with P. texana representing the western component of the genus' distribution.
