  • Issini

    Issini is a tribe of small planthoppers within the family Issidae, characterized by stocky, usually brownish bodies measuring 5–20 mm. Members possess hemispherical body shapes and often exhibit reduced flight capability despite having developed wings, preferring crawling and jumping in vegetation. The tribe is distributed across the Oriental realm, with significant diversity in southern China. Issini includes four subtribes: Hemisphaeriini, Parahiraciini, Issini, and Colpopterini.
