Haplaxius
Haplaxius is a genus of cixiid planthoppers (Hemiptera: Cixiidae) in the tribe Oecleini, containing at least 60 described species with a New World distribution. The genus was reinstated by Emeljanov in 1989 for New World species formerly placed in Myndus. Several species are economically significant as vectors of phytoplasmas causing lethal diseases in palms. Haplaxius crudus transmits Candidatus Phytoplasma palmae, the causal agent of lethal yellowing in coconut palms and lethal wilt in oil palms, causing substantial agricultural losses in the Caribbean, Central America, South America, and the southern United States.
Haplaxius balli
Haplaxius balli is a species of planthopper in the family Cixiidae, described by Kramer in 1979. It belongs to the tribe Oecleini within the subfamily Cixiinae. The species is known from Arizona, USA, based on distribution records. Like other cixiid planthoppers, it is a member of the infraorder Fulgoromorpha, characterized by their distinctive head morphology and wing venation patterns.
Haplaxius catalinus
Haplaxius catalinus is a species of planthopper in the family Cixiidae, first described by Ball in 1933. It belongs to the tribe Oecleini, a group of cixiids characterized by particular wing venation and genitalia structures. The species has been documented in the southwestern United States. Cixiidae planthoppers are generally small, cryptic insects with reduced wings in many species, though specific details for H. catalinus remain limited in published literature.
Haplaxius fulvus
Haplaxius fulvus is a planthopper species in the family Cixiidae, first described by Osborn in 1903. It belongs to the tribe Oecleini within the subfamily Cixiinae. The species has been recorded from multiple states in the eastern and central United States. Like other cixiid planthoppers, it is likely associated with host plants where nymphs develop underground feeding on roots.
Haplaxius glyphis
Haplaxius glyphis is a species of planthopper in the family Cixiidae, described by Kramer in 1979. It belongs to a genus of small, inconspicuous insects that inhabit forested and vegetated environments. The species is recorded from northeastern North America, with documented occurrences in the United States and Canada.
Haplaxius lunatus
Haplaxius lunatus is a species of planthopper in the family Cixiidae, first described by Van Duzee in 1909 as Myndus lunatus. It belongs to the tribe Oecleini within the subfamily Cixiinae. The species is part of the diverse Hemipteran fauna of North America, with records from Florida. Like other cixiids, it is a small, delicate planthopper with reduced wings in some individuals.
Haplaxius nigrifrons
Haplaxius nigrifrons is a species of planthopper in the family Cixiidae, first described by Ball in 1937. It belongs to the tribe Oecleini within the subfamily Cixiinae. The species is known from Texas based on distribution records. As with other cixiid planthoppers, it is likely associated with vascular plants, though specific ecological details remain poorly documented.
Haplaxius truncatus
Haplaxius truncatus is a planthopper species in the family Cixiidae, first described by Metcalf in 1923. It belongs to the tribe Oecleini within the subfamily Cixiinae. The species has been recorded in the north-central United States, specifically in Illinois, Iowa, and Wisconsin. Like other cixiid planthoppers, it is likely associated with plant roots during its immature stages and feeds on plant sap as an adult.
Nymphocixia
Nymphocixia is a genus of planthoppers in the family Cixiidae, tribe Oecleini. The genus was established by Van Duzee in 1923 and contains multiple described species. Cixiid planthoppers are generally small, cryptic insects associated with woody or herbaceous plants. Members of this genus are found in North America.
Oecleus lyra
Oecleus lyra is a species of planthopper in the family Cixiidae, described by Kramer in 1977. It belongs to the tribe Oecleini within the subfamily Cixiinae. Like other cixiids, it is a member of the superfamily Delphacoidea, a group of true bugs characterized by their plant-sap feeding habits. The species has been documented in Arizona based on distribution records.
Oecleus quadrilineatus
A species of planthopper in the family Cixiidae, described by Van Duzee in 1912. The specific epithet "quadrilineatus" refers to four lines, likely indicating a distinctive striped pattern on the body or wings. Members of this genus are small to medium-sized fulgoromorphs with reduced wings in some species.
Oecleus sagittanus
Oecleus sagittanus is a species of planthopper in the family Cixiidae, described by Ball & Klingenberg in 1935. It belongs to the tribe Oecleini, a group of small to medium-sized fulgoroid insects characterized by their brachypterous or macropterous wing conditions and association with host plants. The species epithet 'sagittanus' refers to an arrow-like shape, likely describing a morphological feature of the male genitalia or wing structure. Like other cixiids, it is presumed to feed on plant phloem sap using piercing-sucking mouthparts.
Oecleus venosus
A planthopper species in the family Cixiidae, described by Van Duzee in 1912. Belongs to the tribe Oecleini, a group of small, often inconspicuous insects associated with woody plants. The specific epithet 'venosus' likely refers to wing venation patterns. Like other cixiids, it is presumed to feed on plant phloem sap and may serve as a vector for plant pathogens.
