Family Membracidae - Horned Treehoppers

Acanthuchus trispinifer (Fairmaire)

The horned treehoppers are characterised by the enlargement of the pronotum, sometimes into grotesque shapes. In Australian species there are usually two lateral horns but these are often reduced to bumps and sometimes missing altogether. In Neosextius the horns are directed forwards and pressed against one another to form an apparent single horn. One species, Eutryonia monstrifer, has a single bulbous column extending vertically from the pronotum. New Zealand has a single species Acanthucus trispinifer (pictured at right) which is an introduction from Australia. [update: 12.ii.2001]

Membracids are normally sedentary but are capable of jumping strongly when disturbed. Adults and nymphs are often found together and are tended by ants. Some species overseas have been proven to show maternal care by the adults for the eggs and young nymphs although this has not been recorded in the Australian fauna. A key to the Australian genera has been provided by Day (1999). A review of the world Centrotinae was provided by Wallace and Deitz (2004) [update: 1.ii.2005]. All Australian membracids are in the Tribe Terentiini of the Subfamily Centrotinae except for a doubtful record of Gargarini and the introduced Aconophora compressa Walker (Membracinae: Aconophorini).

Genus Aconophora Fairmaire

Aconophora Fairmaire 1846a: 294

Aconophora compressa Walker, the lantana treehopper

Aconophora compressa Walker 1851: 541

Notes: This American membracid species was released in NSW and Qld in 1995 as a biological control agent of weedy species of Lantana and has also been found damaging Fiddlewood (Citharexylum sp. Verbenaceae). It is the only species of Membracidae in Australia that is not a member of the Subfamily Centrotinae.

Genus Gargara Amyot & Serville

Gargara Amyot & Serville 1843: 537

Gargara australiensis Funkhouser

Gargara australiensis Funkhouser 1936: 189

Notes: Day (1999: 679) states that the only specimen of this species ever collected in Australia is the holotype now housed in Basel Museum. The genus Gargara is widespread in Indonesia and this specimen would appear to be a vagrant. Specimens in collections labelled as Gargara are, in fact, species of Daymfus Özdikmen & Demir.
