Tibicinoides, with three small endemic California cicada species, has a confusing, intertwined systematic history Okanagana that we unravel here. An ingroup including all species of Tibicinoides and the majority (84.7%) were sampled for six gene regions, polarized Clidophleps, Okanagodes, Subpsaltria, Tibicina outgroups, subjected to Bayesian phylogenetic analysis. Although was monophyletic fro...

A list of Hemiptera Fulgoromorpha (planthoppers) of Iran is provided, based primarily on literature records from 1902 to the present. In total 15 families and 235 species are recorded, with taxonomic details. Distribution data in Iran are given. Iranissus ephedrinus Dlabola, 1980 is transferred from Issidae to Nogodinidae. To resolve nomenclatural difficulty the following new combinations in Is...

Jumping insects develop accelerations that can greatly exceed gravitational acceleration. Although several species have been analysed using different tools, ranging from a purely physical to a morpho-physiological approach, instantaneous dynamic and kinematic data concerning the jumping motion are lacking. This is mainly due to the difficulty in observing in detail events that occur in a few mi...

Iran is known as the most complex and varied country in southwest Asia, in terms of geography, vegetation, climate and consequently biological diversity. The rather high number of recorded endemic species of Fulgoromorpha in Iran indicates a high potential for speciation in some areas. In this study, in order to identify the endemic zones for Fulgoromorpha of Iran, three main biogeographic regi...

Two new species of the genus Arboridia Zachvatkin, A. koreana sp. nov., A. septempunctata sp. nov., are described from Korea. Photographs of dorsal habitus, illustrations of male genitalia, abdomens and forewings, and biological information such as host plants and distributional records and a key to the Korean Arboridia species are provided.

A key with accompanying figures is provided for the 14 tribes and 35 genera of Deltocephalinae (Cicadellidae) from Pakistan.
