Cercopidae are the largest family of Cercopoidea, a xylem-feeding insect group, commonly called froghoppers. [2] They belong to the hemipteran suborder Auchenorrhyncha.A 2023 phylogenetic study of the family suggested the elevation of subfamily Ischnorhininae to full family status as Ischnorhinidae, leaving a monophyletic Cercopinae.
The superfamily Apoidea is a major group within the Hymenoptera, which includes two traditionally recognized lineages, the "sphecoid" wasps, and the bees.Molecular phylogeny demonstrates that the bees arose from within the traditional "Crabronidae", so that grouping is paraphyletic, and this has led to a reclassification to produce monophyletic families.
This article classifies the subgroups of the order Coleoptera down to the level of families, following the system in "Family-group names in Coleoptera (Insecta)", Bouchard, et al. (2011), [1] with corrections and additions from 2020, [2] with common names from bugguide.net. [3] Order Coleoptera. Suborder †Protocoleoptera
They are generally small, long-legged insects and the body length of most species is between 2 and 12 mm (0.08–0.47 in). A few are between 12 and 25 mm (0.47–0.98 in). [ 5 ] Among widespread genera, the North Hemisphere Aquarius includes the largest species, generally exceeding 12 mm (0.47 in), at least among females, and the largest ...
Insect cooking oil, insect butter and fatty alcohols can be made from such insects as the superworm (Zophobas morio). [199] Insect species including the black soldier fly or the housefly in their maggot forms, and beetle larvae such as mealworms , can be processed and used as feed for farmed animals including chicken, fish and pigs.

Beginning in the 1990s, molecular (DNA sequence) data have come to play a central role in attempts to reconstruct the ant "tree of life".Molecular phylogenetic analyses based on multiple nuclear genes have yielded robust results that reinforce some preexisting views but overturn others – and suggest that there has been considerable morphological convergence among some ant lineages.
Genus name: The scientific name of the genus. Binomial authority: The binomial authority—the person who first described the species using an available scientific name. Classified: The year the genus was formally described and classified. No. of species: The number of species, both extant and extinct, that are members of the genus. Type species
