Notes on delimitation of families of the Issidae group with description of a new species of Caliscelidae belonging to a new genus and tribe (Homoptera, Fulgoroidea)
A.F. Emeljanov
Abstract. A new subdivision of the families related to the family Issidae mainly based on the structure of ovipositor is proposed; (1) families with round type of ovipositor: Issidae (including Bladininae) and Caliscelidae (including Ommatidiotinae); (2) families with laterally compressed type of ovipositor: Nogodinidae s. str. and Acanaloniidae (Acanaloniinae, Tonginae, Trienopinae). Caliscelidae are divided into two subfamilies: Caliscelinae and Ommatidiotinae, stat. n. Ommatidiotinae are divided into tribes Ommatidiotini, Augilini, stat. n., and Bocrini trib. n. Bocra ephedrina gen. et sp. n. is described from W. Pamir (Tajikistan). Larvae of I-III and V instars of Bocra ephedrina are described.
