Burnilia japonica sp. n. of the delphacid subfamily Plesiodelphacinae from southern Japan (Kyushu, Yakushima, Okinawa) is described. The surprising discovery of a Burnilia-species in Japan is the first record of a member of this subfamily outside the New World. As the generic assignment is beyond any doubts, this finding reveals a puzzling geographic distribution of this group. A natural – indigenous – occurrence of B. japonica in Japan versus a recent introduction e.g., by human traffic, is…

Morphological reassessment of the movable calcar of delphacid planthoppers (Hemiptera: Fulgoromorpha: Delphacidae)
TLDR
Seven types of calcar structure were defined based on combinations of characters including shape, number of teeth and differentiation of sensory structures in species from fifteen genera based on descriptions from previous studies.

TLDR
A preliminary phylogenetic evaluation of the native Hawaiian p1anthoppers on the basis of comparative morphology to recognize monophyletic taxa and major evolutionary lines is attempted.

Evolution of Delphacidae (Hemiptera: Fulgoroidea): combined‐evidence phylogenetics reveals importance of grass host shifts
TLDR
The results generally support the higher classifications of Delphacidae proposed by Asche, Emeljanov and Hamilton, and suggest that the rapid diversification of the Del phloem‐feeding insects was associated with host shifts to, and within, Poaceae, and specifically from C3 to C4 grasses.
New State Records of Immigrant Planthoppers in Hawaii (Homoptera: Fulgoroidea)
TLDR
Small delphacid species with coloration pale yellow to stramineous except for brownish abdomen and dark brown genital segment of males; thus brachypterous males appear sexually dimorphic.
The external male genitalia of Hemiptera (Homoptera — Heteroptera)
TLDR
The Fulgoroidea was formally given a family rank which includes Caliscelini and Augilini although no synapomorphies shared by the two tribes were found in the phylogenetic analysis in the book.
From micropterism to hyperpterism: recognition strategy and standardized homology-driven terminology of the forewing venation patterns in planthoppers (Hemiptera: Fulgoromorpha)
TLDR
A standardized and homology-driven groundplan terminology for tegmina types, structures and vein patterns in Hemiptera Fulgoromorpha, including fossils, is proposed and the concept of brachypterism is defined in a non-relative way independently from other structures, and the new one of hyperpterism is proposed.
Vicariance biogeography and terrane tectonics in the South Pacific: analysis of the genus Abrotanell
TLDR
A comparative analysis of areas of endemism in Abrotanella shows clear patterns of vicariance and disjunction shared with many plants and animals, and long-distance dispersal is rejected as an explanation.
Problems in the zoogeography of Pacific and Antarctic insects
TLDR
The study of the distribution and speciation of insects on Pacific islands may be an important key to the knowledge of the history of islands, of the nature of dispersal, and of the evolution of species in the insular environment.
