Ciminius
Ciminius is a genus of leafhoppers in the family Cicadellidae, tribe Cicadellini. The genus was established by Metcalf and Bruner in 1936 and contains ten described species distributed across the Neotropical and Nearctic regions. A 2025 morphological phylogenetic study confirmed Ciminius as monophyletic with high support and described three new species. The genus belongs to the Articulate Stem Clade alongside Tylozygus and the monotypic genus Arcanus, characterized by unique connective morphology.
Leptomorphus
Leptomorphus is a genus of fungus gnats in the family Mycetophilidae, comprising approximately 45 extant species distributed across multiple biogeographic realms. The genus is monophyletic based on morphological phylogenetic analysis, with four major species groups recognized: the L. ornatus group, L. grjebinei group, L. walkeri group, and L. furcatus group. Species exhibit considerable morphological diversity, with detailed descriptions and illustrations of habitus, wings, and male genitalia available for identification.
