“…From this classification and subsequent updates, the morphological characters describing Cercopoidea superfamily includes head with frontoclypeus inflated; median ocellus absent; ocelli on crown distant from margin; pronotum extended to scutellar suture; body clothed with fine setae; hind coxae conical, tibia without rows of setae but often with one or more conspicuous spines; male subgenital plate present (Carvalho and Webb, 2005;Dietrich, 2005Dietrich, , 2009. For Cercopidae, the descriptive characters are colorful patterns in tegmina, convex postclypeus anterior or laterally compressed, hexagonal pronotum with posterior margin reticulated (Paladini and Cryan, 2012). The main difference with Aphrophoridae family is having the eyes slightly longer than wide and the posterior margin of the pronotum straight (instead of emarginate) (Dietrich, 2009).…”

“…An illustrated key of new world spittlebugs based on characters as color patterns, styles, plates, and aedeagus of male genitalia was reviewed by Carvalho and Webb (2005). However, the classification of some species is complex for their body similarity, color patterns, and male-genitalia intra-specific variation, the absence of specific accurate descriptors and taxonomic keys, and the lack of diagnostic keys for identification in immature individuals (Cryan and Svenson, 2010;Paladini and Cryan, 2012).…”

“…Some inconsistencies in diagnostic characters indicate the lack of reliable evidence for defining major lineages, leading to the rejection of the monophyly of Ischnorhinini and Tomaspidini, and taxonomic instability (Paladini et al, 2015(Paladini et al, , 2018. For this reason, some authors opted to exclude this tribal-level classification including all the Neotropical cercopids in the Ischnorhininae subfamily, with 62 genera and 438 species (Carvalho and Webb, 2005;Paladini and Cryan, 2012;Paladini et al, 2015;Paladini and Cavichioli, 2017;Castro et al, 2018;Castro et al, 2020).…”

Spittlebug (Hemiptera: Cercopidae) species cause large economic losses on gramineous crops (Poaceae) in tropical and subtropical America. These insects are key pests of sugarcane and forages, crops that experienced a quick expansion in extensive monocultures in Brazil, Colombia, and Mexico. Mobilization toward sustainable crop and livestock systems to supply the growing demand of meat, milk, and sugar in Latin America and the Caribbean region implies developing sustainable and feasible strategies of integrated pest management to control spittlebugs. This review combines information on Cercopidae taxonomy, geographical distribution, insect biology, and control strategies to contribute to the development of integrated pest management in grasses and sugarcane in the Neotropics.

“…Among hosts, spittlebugs show preferences for nitrogenfixing plants (Thompson, 1994). This feature, combined with their high reproductive potential and short life cycles, makes numerous Cercopidae species significant pests, particularly of forage grasses and sugar cane in Latin America (Cardona et al, 2004;Carvalho, 1990;Fagan & Kuitert, 1969;Foieri et al, 2016;Orozco-Restrepo et al, 2017;Paladini & Cryan, 2012;Peck, 2001).…”

Overview of spittlebugs of the family Cercopidae (Hemiptera: Auchenorrhyncha) from Mexico, with keys to genera and species

The Cercopidae family constitute the largest group of xylem sap-sucking insects. Several species are important pests of sugar cane and grasses. In America there are 460 species and 65 subspecies in 60 genera. In Mexico, the total number of species is unknown and there is no inventory of specimens in the collections or taxonomic keys. In the present research, we study entomological collections to trace the distribution of genera and species and constructed taxonomic keys for their identification, based on external morphology and male genitalia. The Cercopidae of the country included 3 recognized tribes, Neaenini Fennah, 1968, Ischnorhinini Schmidt, 1920 and Tomaspidini Schmidt, 1922, in addition to the recently proposed Microsarganini Hamilton, 2016. We reported 39 described species, 1 subspecies and 1 undescribed, belonging to 10 genera. The most diverse genera were Ocoaxo Fennah with 16 species and Prosapia Fennah with 8. Aeneolamia Fennah includes 3 species and 1 subspecies, Iphirhina Fennah and Neaenus Fowler 3 species each, Microsargane Fowler and Olcotomaspis Lallemand 2 species each, and Mahanarva Distant, Huaina Fennah and Zulia Fennah 1 species each. This is the first complete compilation of the Cercopidae recorded for Mexico.

The spittlebug family Cercopidae is currently divided into two subfamilies: the paraphyletic Old World Cercopinae and the monophyletic New World Ischnorhininae. The most recent classification scheme proposed by Fennah in 1968 divided the New World Cercopidae into four tribes: Tomaspidini, Ischnorhinini, Hyboscartini and Neaenini. Herein we present a phylogenetic analysis of Ischnorhininae using 108 morphological characters and including 53 of the 59 recognized genera, to evaluate the tribal-level classification and understand the processes underlying the current distributional patterns of these genera. We found significant support for the monophyly of many Neotropical genera, but Fennah's tribal classification is revised because tribes Neaenini, Ischnorhinini and Tomaspidini were recovered as polyphyletic. Hyboscartini was synonymized with Tomaspidini. A taxonomic key to tribes and genera of Neotropical spittlebugs is provided based mostly on recovered apomorphies. The biogeographical analysis suggests a Neotropical origin of ischnorhinines, more specifically in northwestern South America. This was possibly coincident spatially and temporally with the origin of grasses, with ancestral range expansions southward to the Amazonian and Paraná regions, and posterior vicariant events, possibly related to the expansion of forests in the Chacoan region, the South America diagonal of open formations. Dispersals to the Chacoan region and to the Nearctic region are hypothesized to have occurred only within genera. In the Chacoan region it is associated with more recent events, such as the diversification of C4 grasses and establishment of the savannas and seasonally dry forests.
