Kathleenum cornutum cornutum
Kathleenum cornutum cornutum is a subspecies of planthopper in the family Issidae, described by Melichar in 1906. It belongs to the infraorder Fulgoromorpha, a group of hemipteran insects commonly known as planthoppers. The specific epithet 'cornutum' (Latin for 'horned') suggests the presence of horn-like projections, a trait found in various Issidae species. This subspecies is part of the Neotropical issid fauna, though detailed biological studies remain limited.
