This book was released on 2009 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The subfamily Dictyopharinae (Hemiptera: Fulgoroidea: Dictyopharidae) is a loosely defined group of morphologically diverse and geographically widespread planthoppers. The most recent classification defines eleven tribes worldwide (ten extant), with 50 of the 89 genera unplaced at the tribal level. Here I treat the New World (North America, South America and Caribbean) members of Dictyopharinae, referring all extant genera to one of eight existing and proposed wholly New World tribes. Further suggestions for developing a robust phylogenetic hypothesis based on morphological and molecular datasets are discussed.
