Article Abstract
Fourteen species of the lanternfly genus Pyrops Spinola were documented from Thailand during expeditions across the country and from citizen scientists records. The distribution maps of each species are provided, based on the examined material and records from iNaturalist citizen science platform. The species are illustrated and an identification key is also provided. The intraspecific colour variations of P. oculatus (Westwood, 1838) and P. pyrorhynchus (Donovan, 1800) are briefly discussed.

Article Synopsis
- The spotted lanternfly is an invasive pest that causes significant economic damage in fruit and wood industries.
- Researchers identified a new virus called Lycorma delicatula iflavirus 1 (LDIV1) in the lanternfly, which has a genome of 10,222 nucleotides and encodes various functional domains.
- LDIV1 replicates within the spotted lanternfly and triggers the insect's antiviral immune response, showing a close genetic relationship to other viruses in the Picornavirales order, qualifying it as a new species in the Iflavirus genus.

Lanternflies (Insecta: Hemiptera: Fulgoridae) are frequently used as examples of unusual morphological evolution, with some species (such as the peanut-headed bug, Fulgora laternaria Linnaeus) also ubiquitously cited as icons of tropical insect biodiversity. Despite that entomological notoriety, the phylogeny of this charismatic planthopper family has never before been studied. Presented here are the results of a phylogenetic investigation of Fulgoridae based on DNA nucleotide sequence data from five genetic loci (18S rDNA, 28S rDNA, histone 3, wingless, and cytochrome oxidase I).
