Planthopper
Guides
Toya boxi
Toya boxi is a species of planthopper in the family Delphacidae, first described by Muir in 1926. It belongs to the genus Toya, a group of delphacid planthoppers found in tropical and subtropical regions. Distribution records indicate presence in Florida, the Caribbean, and Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Like other members of Delphacidae, it is presumed to feed on plant phloem sap, though specific host associations for this species are not documented.
Toya idonea
Toya idonea is a delphacid planthopper in the family Delphacidae, first described by Beamer in 1947. The species has a broad distribution spanning the Caribbean, Central America, North America, and South America. Specific records exist from the southeastern United States (Alabama, Florida, Louisiana, Mississippi) and Brazil (Bahia). As a member of Delphacidae, it belongs to a family characterized by a movable spur on the hind tibia, a trait distinguishing delphacids from other planthopper families.
Toya nigra
Toya nigra is a species of planthopper in the family Delphacidae, first described by Crawford in 1914. It belongs to the genus Toya, a group of small, often inconspicuous insects within the true bug order Hemiptera. As with other delphacid planthoppers, it is likely associated with grass or sedge host plants, though specific biological details remain poorly documented in available literature.
Traxus
Traxus is a genus of planthoppers in the family Issidae, established by Metcalf in 1923. It belongs to the tribe Thioniini within the subfamily Issinae. Members of this genus are part of the diverse Fulgoroidea superfamily, which contains many economically important and morphologically distinctive planthopper groups. The genus is poorly documented in public sources, with minimal observational records available.
Traxus fulvus
Traxus fulvus is a species of planthopper in the family Issidae, first described by Metcalf in 1923. It belongs to the tribe Thioniini within the subfamily Issinae. The species is recorded from the southern United States and northeastern Mexico, with confirmed observations from Texas, Hidalgo, and Tamaulipas. Like other issid planthoppers, it is presumed to feed on plant phloem, though specific host plants remain unrecorded.
Tropiduchidae
Tropiduchid Planthoppers
Tropiduchidae is a family of planthoppers in the order Hemiptera, within the superfamily Fulgoroidea. The family contains at least 160 genera and approximately 600 described species distributed worldwide. Members are characterized by their planthopper morphology and are classified within the subfamily Elicinae and other subfamilies. The family includes economically significant pests such as Ommatissus lybicus (the Dubas bug), a serious pest of date palms in the Middle East and North Africa.
Tropiduchinae
Tropiduchinae is a subfamily of planthoppers within the family Tropiduchidae, established by Stål in 1866. The subfamily encompasses numerous tribes and genera distributed globally, with particularly diverse representation in tropical and subtropical regions. Members share the general body plan characteristic of tropiduchid planthoppers, though specific diagnostic features distinguishing the subfamily from other tropiduchid subfamilies require specialist examination. The group includes both extant and extinct lineages, with the fossil tribe †Emilianini documented from Eocene deposits.
Tumidagena
Tumidagena is a genus of small, flightless delphacid planthoppers comprising at least three described species. The best-studied species, T. minuta, is a specialist herbivore of the salt marsh grass Spartina patens in eastern North America. Despite being predominantly flightless (>99% of adults), populations exhibit high gene flow and weak genetic differentiation over distances exceeding 400 km, suggesting mechanisms other than adult flight maintain connectivity.
Tylanira bifurca
Tylanira bifurca is a small planthopper in the family Issidae, described by Ball in 1936. The species is known from the southwestern United States and adjacent Mexico, with records from Arizona, Texas, and Coahuila. As a member of the tribe Thioniini, it belongs to a group of fulgoroid insects characterized by their compact body form and reduced wings in many species.
Xerbus
Xerbus is a genus of planthoppers in the family Achilidae, described by O'Brien in 1971. It belongs to the tribe Plectoderini within the subfamily Myconinae. Members of this genus are part of the diverse Fulgoroidea superfamily, a group of sap-feeding insects. The genus is poorly known, with limited published information on its species diversity and biology.
Yucanda miniata
Yucanda miniata is a species of planthopper in the family Dictyopharidae, described by Ball in 1937. It belongs to the tribe Orgeriini within the subfamily Orgeriinae. The species is known from Arizona, USA. Like other dictyopharid planthoppers, it possesses the characteristic elongated head structure typical of this family.
Yucanda ornata
Yucanda ornata is a species of planthopper in the family Dictyopharidae, described by Ball in 1937. It belongs to the infraorder Fulgoromorpha within the order Hemiptera. The species is known from Arizona, USA. As a member of the Dictyopharidae, it shares family characteristics including a typically elongated head structure, though specific morphological details for this species are not well documented in available sources.
Yukonodelphax
Yukonodelphax is a genus of planthoppers in the family Delphacidae, described by Wilson in 1992. The genus belongs to the tribe Delphacini within the subfamily Delphacinae. Members of this genus are small, sap-feeding insects associated with grassland and wetland habitats. Very few observations of this genus exist in biodiversity databases.
Yukonodelphax bifurca
Yukonodelphax bifurca is a species of planthopper in the family Delphacidae. The specific epithet "bifurca" refers to a forked or divided structure, likely describing a morphological feature of the species. It is a member of the subfamily Delphacinae, a group known for their association with grasses and sedges. The genus Yukonodelphax is part of the diverse planthopper fauna of North America.
Yukonodelphax kendallae
Yukonodelphax kendallae is a species of planthopper in the family Delphacidae, first described by Wilson in 1992. It is a small, winged insect belonging to a group known for their association with grasses and sedges. The species is known from northern North America, with confirmed records from Yukon and Alberta.
Yukonodelphax stramineosa
Yukonodelphax stramineosa is a species of planthopper in the family Delphacidae. It was described by Beamer in 1948. The species belongs to a genus primarily distributed in northern North America, with records from the northeastern United States and Canada. As a member of the Delphacidae, it is a small, jumping insect associated with grassland and wetland habitats.
