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)

tribe Laternariini

Auth.: Distant, 1906 (tropical Asia)

  • Datua Schmidt, 1911
  • Hariola Stål, 1863
  • Saiva Distant, 1906

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

incertae sedis
