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:

Fulgorini

Auth.: Latreille, 1807 (central and southern America)

Laternariini

Auth.: Distant, 1906 (tropical Asia)

  • Datua Schmidt, 1911
  • Hariola Stål, 1863
  • Pyrops Spinola, 1839 (incertae sedis by some authorities)
  • Saiva Distant, 1906

Zannini

Zanna sp.

Auth.: Metcalf, 1938 (tropical Africa and Asia)

incertae sedis

  • Sinuala O'Brien, 1991 (central America)
