Auchenorrhyncha
The
Auchenorrhyncha
(former synonym:
Cicadinea
) suborder of the
Hemiptera
contains most of the familiar members of what was called the
Homoptera
– groups such as
cicadas
,
leafhoppers
,
treehoppers
,
planthoppers
, and
spittlebugs
. The
aphids
and
scale insects
are the other well-known "Homoptera", and they are in the suborder
Sternorrhyncha
. Lesser-known insects largely regarded as Homoptera are the
Coleorrhyncha
. However, the
taxonomic
status of the
Hemiptera
and
Homoptera
is currently under investigation and discussion. See
Heteroptera
and
Prosorrhyncha
for more information.
