Abolloptera
Abolloptera is a monotypic genus of planthoppers in the family Issidae, established in 2006 by Gnezdilov & O'Brien. The genus contains a single species, Abolloptera bistriata, which occurs in the southern United States and adjacent Mexico. As a member of the tribe Thioniini, it belongs to a group of small, often cryptic planthoppers with limited documented natural history.
Kathleenum cornutum cornutum
Kathleenum cornutum cornutum is a subspecies of planthopper in the family Issidae, described by Melichar in 1906. It belongs to the infraorder Fulgoromorpha, a group of hemipteran insects commonly known as planthoppers. The specific epithet 'cornutum' (Latin for 'horned') suggests the presence of horn-like projections, a trait found in various Issidae species. This subspecies is part of the Neotropical issid fauna, though detailed biological studies remain limited.
Kathleenum cornutum utahnum
Kathleenum cornutum utahnum is a subspecies of planthopper in the family Issidae, originally described by Ball in 1935. It belongs to a group of small, often cryptic insects commonly known as issid planthoppers or twig hoppers. The subspecies epithet 'utahnum' indicates a geographic association with Utah, distinguishing it from the nominate subspecies. Like other issids, it likely inhabits grassland or shrubland environments where it feeds on plant phloem sap.
Paralixes
Paralixes is a genus of planthoppers in the family Issidae, described by Caldwell in 1945. It belongs to the tribe Thioniini within the subfamily Issinae. Members of this genus are small, often compact-bodied insects adapted to life on host plants. The genus is poorly documented in scientific literature, with limited species-level descriptions and biological data available.
Paralixes scutatus
Paralixes scutatus is a species of planthopper in the family Issidae, first described by Walker in 1858. It belongs to the tribe Thioniini within the subfamily Issinae. The species has been recorded from the southwestern United States and parts of Central America. Like other Issidae, it is a member of the Fulgoroidea superfamily, characterized by their distinctive body shape and reduced wings in many species.
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.
