The Fulgorinae[1] are a sub-family of insects in the Auchenorrhyncha: which include the spectacular "lantern-bugs" and allied insects.
Tribes and Genera
Nine genera are currently listed by the NCBI, but molecular studies question the placement of genera in the Zannini, even questioning whether they belong to the family Fulgoridae.[2] The Hemiptera database[3] suggests that there may be 15 genera in this subfamily in three tribes:
tribe Fulgorini
Auth.: Latreille, 1807 (central and southern America)
- Aphrodisias Kirkaldy, 1906
- Cathedra Kirkaldy, 1903 monotypic: Cathedra serrata
- Diareusa Walker, 1858
- Fulgora Linné, 1767 (type genus)
- Odontoptera Carreno, 1841
- Phrictus Spinola, 1839
tribe Laternariini
Auth.: Distant, 1906 (tropical Asia)
tribe Zannini
Auth.: Metcalf, 1938 (tropical Africa and Asia)
- Pseudodictya Schmidt, 1924
- Radamana Distant, 1906
- Rhicnophloea Gerstaecker, 1895
- Rühlella Schmidt, 1924
- Samsama Distant, 1906
- Zanna Kirkaldy, 1902
