Male terminalia of Cercopidae (Hemiptera, Cicadomorpha): towards a consensus terminology.

The study of male genital appendages is often necessary to identify a species and to characterise the higher systematics ranks for the Cercopidae, a large family of Hemiptera. Therefore, many authors have used them in their work but without any clear consensus on the terms used for each part constituting the male terminalia. A standardised terminology is important for the quality of a taxonomic description but even more essential when we want to compare species and establish a primary homology between states of character and their use in the frame of phylogenetic analysis.

Cercopidae spittle-bugs (Hemiptera, Cicadomorpha) of Madagascar: a new species of and revision of the species.

The species and subspecies from Madagascar are revised and a new combination is proposed: Locris johannae var. nigrolimbata Lallemand, 1910 to . Illustrations and description of male terminalia are given for the first time for the three species and an identification key is provided.

Revision of the New Guinean genus Zophiuma (Hemiptera, Lophopidae).

The lophopid genus Zophiuma Fennah, 1955 is revised with two new species described, Z. gitauae sp. nov.

Two new species of Aufidus (Hemiptera, Cercopidae) from New Guinea.

Two new species of the cercopid genus Aufidus Stål, 1863, A. alacaligus sp. nov.

Revision of the endemic Philippine Poeciloterpa Stål (Hemiptera: Cercopidae) with description of four new species.

The genus Poeciloterpa Stål endemic to the Philippines with 9 known species is reviewed. Four new species are described and illustrated: P. altissima Crispolon et Soulier-Perkins sp.

New species for Virgilia Stål, 1870 (Hemiptera, Lophopidae), genus review and key to species.

Two new species of the lophopid genus Virgilia Stål 1866, are described and illustrated, V. cocovora Soulier-Perkins sp. nov.

Fieber's unpublished colour plates allow reassessing some of his Cixius species (Insecta: Hemiptera, Fulgoromorpha, Cixiidae).

Franz Xaver Fieber was a leading Hemiptera taxonomist in the 19th century. The recent discovery of his unpublished drawings that go along with the original handwritten manuscript allow a reassessment of species descriptions from this century. In addition, we present an alphabet of Fieber's handwriting.

New species and new records of Tingidae (Insecta: Heteroptera) from Vietnam.

In the frame of recent field collecting surveys, four species of Tingidae (Insecta: Heteroptera) new to Vietnam are recorded and three species new to science are described, namely Nectocader vietnamensis, Cetiothucha constanti, and Oncophysa hae. The diversity and richness of Vietnamese Tingidae is discussed, considering the locations visited versus the number of species discovered.

Redescription of the red-striped soft scale, (Newstead), with a new synonymy (Hemiptera, Coccomorpha, Coccidae).

The soft scale, (Newstead, 1911), is a major pest of sugarcane in Egypt. This paper provides a redescription and illustration of the adult female based on a microscopic study of the morphology of several adult female specimens and of the type series illustrated by De Lotto (1965) on citronella grass from Uganda. Two paratypes of De Lotto, 1964 are also studied and the name is placed here as a junior synonym of .

A new lophopid genus as another piece in the biogeographical history puzzle of the family in the Sunda Shelf (Hemiptera: Fulgoromorpha: Lophopidae).

A new Lophopidae genus Binaluana gen. nov. and species B.

Elevational gradient of Hemiptera (Heteroptera, Auchenorrhyncha) on a tropical mountain in Papua New Guinea.

Malaise trap sampling of Hemiptera (Heteroptera; Auchenorrhyncha) was conducted at 500 m intervals along an elevational gradient from 200 m to 3,700 m on the east slope of Mount Wilhelm, Madang Province, Papua New Guinea. Hemiptera had a decrease in morphospecies richness and overall abundance with increasing elevation, however, the Heteroptera did not exhibit either pattern. A few species were relatively abundant at each elevation, whereas the majority of species were represented by ≤5 specimens.

From micropterism to hyperpterism: recognition strategy and standardized homology-driven terminology of the forewing venation patterns in planthoppers (Hemiptera: Fulgoromorpha).

Following recent advances in the morphological interpretations of the tegmen basal cell margins in the Paraneoptera, a standardized and homology-driven groundplan terminology for tegmina types, structures and vein patterns in Hemiptera Fulgoromorpha, including fossils, is proposed. Each term is listed with a morphological definition, compared and linked to the main systems of planthopper forewing description that have been reviewed. The importance of a standardized and homology-driven terminology is stressed to enhance the quality of data in taxonomic descriptions and to strengthen phylogenetic morphological analysis results.

A new genus of the tribe Caliscelini (Hemiptera, Fulgoroidea, Caliscelidae) from Vietnam.

A new genus Annamatissus Gnezdilov et Bourgoin gen. nov., including the new species, Annamatissus tami Gnezdilov et Soulier-Perkins sp.

Vietnamese Issidae (Hemiptera, Fulgoroidea): new taxa, new records and new distribution data.

An updated list of Issidae known from Vietnam is provided. Two new species, one from the genus Darwallia Gnezdilov, 2010, and another one from a new genus are described from the Hòn Bà massif in Central Vietnam. A key to species of the genus Darwallia is provided.

When the Lophopids cross the Lydekker line from New Guinea, a new species for the genus Maana (Hemiptera: Fulgoromorpha).

A new species of the genus Maana Soulier-Perkins, 1998 is described, M. keiensis Soulier-Perkins et Stroiński, sp. nov.
