To the diagnosis of the subfamily Elicinae Melichar, 1915 (Hemiptera: Fulgoroidea: Tropiduchidae), with the redescription of Elica latipennis Walker, 1857 and the comments on the tribes

Male and female genitalia structures of the tropiduchid species, Elica latipennis Walker, 1857, are described and illustrated for the first time giving important characters of the type genus of the subfamily Elicinae Melichar, 1915 intensively explored in the recent years. The diagnostic characters and the relationships of the tribes Austrini Szwedo et Stroiński, 2010, Bucini Gnezdilov, Bartlett et Bourgoin, 2016, Elibucini Zhou et Chang, 2026, Elicini Melichar, 1915, and Patollini Szwedo et Stroiński, 2013 are discussed.

Abstract

Male and female genitalia structures of the tropiduchid species, Elica latipennis Walker, 1857, are described and illustrated for the first time giving important characters of the type genus of the subfamily Elicinae Melichar, 1915 intensively explored in the recent years. The diagnostic characters and the relationships of the tribes Austrini Szwedo et Stroiński, 2010, Bucini Gnezdilov, Bartlett et Bourgoin, 2016, Elibucini Zhou et Chang, 2026, Elicini Melichar, 1915, and Patollini Szwedo et Stroiński, 2013 are discussed.
