Overview
Auchenorrhyncha is the scientific name of the hemipteran suborder that includes planthoppers, cicadas, spittlebugs, leafhoppers, and treehoppers (Insecta: Hemiptera). Planthoppers belong to the Infraorder Fulgoromorpha [a group not included in the Treehoppers database]. Treehoppers and the remaining groups belong to the infraorder Cicadomorpha.
Phylogenetic relationships
Recent phylogenetic analyses (based DNA nucleotide sequence data from seven gene regions) support the monophyly of Auchenorrhyncha, as well as each of the following lineages: Hemiptera, Sternorrhyncha, Heteropterodea, Heteroptera, Fulgoroidea [= Fulgoromorpha], Cicadomorpha, Membracoidea, Cercopoidea and Cicadoidea (Cryan and Ubran 2012).
