Subfamily Orgeriinae Fieber, 1872


Compiler and date details

15 September 2010 - Murray J. Fletcher

Introduction

The sole described representative of this subfamily in Australia is probably not a true orgeriine (A.F. Emeljanov, pers. comm. 2005). Wherever the affinities of the Australian species lie, undescribed species are known from southern Western Australia.

 

Diagnosis

The Orgeriinae are cryptic, litter dwelling planthoppers, usually brachypterous. The Australian species matches these features but Emeljanov (pers. comm. 2005) indicates that it is not a true orgeriine.
