Philya ferruginosa
Philya ferruginosa is a seldom-collected treehopper species in the family Membracidae, first described by Goding in 1893. It belongs to the tribe Hypsoprorini, a group of treehoppers characterized by distinctive pronotal modifications. The species is rarely encountered in collections, with limited published biological information available. A 2022 study provided the first documented host-plant record and described the fifth instar nymph.
