Guides

  • Centrodontus

    Centrodontus is a genus of treehoppers in the family Membracidae, tribe Centrodontini, established by Goding in 1892. Members of this genus possess the enlarged pronotum characteristic of treehoppers, which extends backward over the thorax and often develops into distinctive projections. The genus is part of the diverse New World treehopper fauna, with species distributed primarily in the Americas. Centrodontus species, like other membracids, feed on plant sap using piercing-sucking mouthparts.

  • Multareoides

    Multareoides is a genus of treehoppers in the family Membracidae, subfamily Centrotinae, and tribe Centrodontini. It was described by Cook in 1953. Members of this genus are characterized by their distinctive pronotal modifications, a defining feature of treehoppers. The genus is part of the diverse and ecologically significant treehopper fauna, though specific biological details remain poorly documented.

  • Multareoides bifurcatus

    Multareoides bifurcatus is a treehopper species (Membracidae) described by Cook in 1953. The species is characterized by its bifurcated pronotal structure, as suggested by its specific epithet. It belongs to the tribe Centrodontini within the subfamily Centrotinae. The genus Multareoides is a small group of treehoppers with limited published biological information.
