Guides
Oeclidius carolus
Oeclidius carolus is a species of planthopper in the family Meenoplidae, first described by Ball in 1934. This species belongs to a group of small, often cryptic insects commonly known as kinnarid or meenoplid planthoppers. Records indicate occurrence in Arizona. The genus Oeclidius is part of the superfamily Meenoploidea, a relatively obscure group of fulgoromorph planthoppers with limited published biological information.
Oeclidius nanus
Oeclidius nanus is a species of planthopper in the family Meenoplidae, first described by Van Duzee in 1914. The specific epithet "nanus" (Latin for "dwarf") suggests small body size, a trait common among members of this genus. The species has been recorded from western North America including the southwestern United States and northwestern Mexico.
Oeclidius transversus
Oeclidius transversus is a species of planthopper in the family Meenoplidae, first described by Ball in 1934. The species is currently accepted as valid, though it was previously listed as a synonym in some sources. It belongs to the infraorder Fulgoromorpha, a group of true bugs commonly known as planthoppers. Like other members of its family, this species is likely associated with specific host plants, though detailed biological information remains limited.
