It had been suggested that the pronotal "helmet" could be serial homologues of insect wings, [4] but this interpretation has been refuted by several later studies (e.g., [5] [6]). Treehopper nymphs can be recognised by the tube-like ninth abdominal segment, through which the tenth and eleventh segments can be exerted in defence or to provide ...
Enchenopa binotata (Hemiptera: Membraciade) is a complex of multiple species found mostly in Eastern North America, [2] [3] [4] but have also been reported in Central America. [5] They are commonly referred to as treehoppers and are sap-feeding insects . [ 2 ]
In the last 10 years, there has been evidence to support the monophyletic interpretation, and the most recent research indicates the Auchenorrhyncha are in fact a monophyletic lineage. [3] A classification of the Auchenorrhyncha is: [4] Infraorder Cicadomorpha (Clypeorrhyncha, Clypeata) Superfamily Cercopoidea (spittlebugs, froghoppers ...
The Brazilian treehopper (Bocydium globulare) is a species of insect [1] belonging to the treehopper family (Membracidae). [2] It has unusual appendages on its thorax. While Bocydium can be found throughout the world, they are most prevalent in Africa , North and South America , Asia and Australia . [ 3 ]
Telamona ampelopsidis, like all treehoppers, feeds on the sap from under leaves. However, T. ampelopsidis exclusively feeds on the Virginia creeper (Parthenocissus quinquefolia). The Virginia creeper was once placed in the genus Ampelopsis at the time that Thaddeus William Harris described the species in 1841, hence the species epithet ...
These "treehoppers" are polyphagous, feeding on plant juices, which they take with their specially built, piercing-sucking mouth parts. The larvae mainly live on Cirsium, Carduus and Urtica species, while the adult insects prefer Populus, Quercus and Rubus species. [3] They overwinter in the litter layer in the larval stage and have a two-year ...
Vanduzea triguttata, also known as the three-spotted treehopper, is a species of treehopper belonging to the genus Vanduzea. It was first described by the German entomologist Ernst-Gerhard Burmeister in 1836.
Keeled treehoppers have unique saddle shaped keels, and are small and brown. [5] The species exhibits sexual dimorphism, females are typically 1/4 of an inch (6.35 mm) long with more pronounced keels while males are smaller, and their keels less noticeable. [5] On occasion, males appear so different that they are misidentified. [5]
