Family Dictyopharidae - Dictyopharid planthoppers
Hasta
hastata Kirkaldy
The
Family Dictyopharidae is well represented in Indonesia but not in the Australasian
region, although the bright green Hasta hastata Kirkaldy and species
of Thanatodictya Kirkaldy which are brown, are quite common in Australia.
Only T.
tillyardi is known from New Zealand [update: 12.ii.2001].
Species in both genera have the head extending considerably in front of
the eyes into a long process.
Dictyopharids
are commonly collected from grass. All the species in the region covered
by this package belong to the subfamily Dictyopharinae except for the single
Australian species Austrorgerius collinus Woodward in the subfamily
Orgeriinae.

Subfamily OrgeriinaeNote: A comprehensive morphological analysis of the Dictyopharidae by Song, et al. (2018) suggested that this group does not warrant subfamily status. However, they decided to retain it as a subfamily pending input from molecular data analysis. |
