Glossonotus turriculatus
Glossonotus turriculatus is a species of treehopper in the family Membracidae, characterized by a distinctive turret-like or turban-shaped pronotal projection that extends over the thorax. This North American species belongs to the tribe Telamonini, a group known for elaborate pronotal ornamentation. The species was first described from specimens collected in the northeastern United States.
Stictopelta
Stictopelta is a genus of treehoppers in the family Membracidae, subfamily Darninae. Members of this genus are found in the Americas, with documented species in the southern United States, Mexico, and South America. The genus was established by Stål in 1869 and is characterized by distinctive pronotal modifications typical of membracid treehoppers. Species within this genus exhibit morphological variation that has led to taxonomic descriptions by multiple authors including Goding, Ball, and Fowler.
Telamona dorana
Telamona dorana is a species of treehopper in the family Membracidae, described by Ball in 1931. As a member of the genus Telamona, it shares the characteristic enlarged pronotum typical of this group. The species is part of the diverse Nearctic fauna of Smiliinae, a subfamily known for varied pronotal ornamentation. Information specific to this species remains limited in published literature.
Telamona subfalcata
Telamona subfalcata is a North American treehopper species in the family Membracidae, described by Van Duzee in 1912. As a member of the tribe Telamonini, it possesses the enlarged and modified pronotum characteristic of treehoppers, though less dramatically ornamented than some tropical relatives. The genus Telamona contains multiple species distributed primarily in eastern and central North America, with T. subfalcata representing one of the less commonly encountered members of this group.
Telamona vestita carynotana
Telamona vestita carynotana is a subspecies of treehopper in the family Membracidae, described by Ball in 1931. It belongs to the diverse genus Telamona, which is part of the Nearctic tribe Telamonini within subfamily Smiliinae. Treehoppers in this genus are characterized by pronounced pronotal modifications that create distinctive silhouettes. This subspecies has been documented from California and Oregon.
Tortistilus curvatus
Tortistilus curvatus is a treehopper species in the family Membracidae, described by Caldwell in 1949. It belongs to the tribe Ceresini within the subfamily Smiliinae, a group characterized by diverse pronotal modifications. The genus Tortistilus is part of the Nearctic treehopper fauna, with this species recorded from the western United States. Like other members of Membracidae, it possesses an enlarged pronotum that extends over the body, though specific morphological details for this species remain limited in published literature.
Tropidarnis tectigera
Tropidarnis tectigera is a treehopper species in the family Membracidae, subfamily Smiliinae. It is the sole species in its genus. The species was described by Fowler in 1895. It is known from limited observations in the southwestern United States and parts of Central America.
Xantholobus lateralis
Xantholobus lateralis is a treehopper species in the family Membracidae, subfamily Smiliinae. It was described by Edward Payton Van Duzee in 1908. The species occurs in eastern and central North America and has been documented feeding on oak and birch trees.
