Peltonotellini
Guides
Aphelonema
Aphelonema is a genus of planthoppers in the family Caliscelidae, first described by Uhler in 1876. Members of this genus belong to the tribe Peltonotellini within the subfamily Caliscelinae. These insects are part of the diverse Fulgoromorpha infraorder, which contains numerous economically and ecologically significant planthopper groups. The genus is poorly documented in public sources, with limited observational records available.
Bruchomorpha
Bruchomorpha is a genus of planthoppers in the family Caliscelidae, first described by Newman in 1838. These insects belong to the superfamily Fulgoroidea and are characterized as sap-sucking hemipterans. The genus is part of the tribe Peltonotellini within the subfamily Caliscelinae. Observations of Bruchomorpha have been documented across North America, particularly in the United States.
Bruchomorpha rugosa
Bruchomorpha rugosa is a species of planthopper in the family Caliscelidae, first described by Metcalf in 1923. It is currently recognized as a valid species, though it has been treated as a synonym of Fitchiella rugosa in some classifications. The genus Bruchomorpha belongs to the tribe Peltonotellini within the subfamily Caliscelinae. Like other caliscelid planthoppers, it is a small, jumping insect associated with herbaceous vegetation.
Fitchiella grandis
Fitchiella grandis is a species of planthopper in the family Caliscelidae, described by Lawson in 1933. The genus Fitchiella belongs to the tribe Peltonotellini within the subfamily Caliscelinae. Distribution records indicate occurrence in Arizona. The genus Fitchiella is closely related to Fitchiella robertsonii, a species studied extensively for its remarkable jumping ability and prairie grass host associations.
Papagona
Papagona is a genus of planthoppers in the family Caliscelidae, first described by Ball in 1935. It belongs to the tribe Peltonotellini within the subfamily Caliscelinae. Members of this genus are part of the diverse Fulgoroidea superfamily, a group of Hemiptera characterized by their specialized mouthparts and often distinctive head morphologies. The genus has been documented in taxonomic literature but remains poorly known in terms of species diversity and natural history.
Protrocha minuta
Protrocha minuta is a species of planthopper in the family Caliscelidae, first described by Bunn in 1930. It belongs to the tribe Peltonotellini within the subfamily Caliscelinae. The genus Protrocha is part of a group of small, often overlooked planthoppers that inhabit grassy and herbaceous vegetation. Very little is known about the specific biology or ecology of this species, reflecting the broader pattern of understudied diversity within the Caliscelidae family.
