Genus Zanna Kirkaldy, 1902

Zanna Kirkaldy, 1902: 47 . Type species: Fulgoratenebrosa Fabricius, 1775.

Zanna – Melichar 1903: 13. — Metcalf 1947: 246. — Lallemand 1959: 101; 1963: 90. — Nagai & Porion 1996: 27. — Urban & Cryan 2009. Replacement name for Pyrops Amyot & Audinet-Serville, 1843 nec Pyrops Spinola, 1839 .

Pyrops – Amyot & Audinet-Serville 1843: 491. — Atkinson 1885: 139. — Distant 1906: 179.

Diagnosis

Species of the genus Zanna can be separated from the other genera of Fulgoridae by the combination of the following characters:

(1) General shape of body distinctly narrow, slender and elongate, usually pale brownish ochraceous, without colorful markings, usually densely and prominently spotted in black;

(2) Head distinctly produced into an elongate, often very long cephalic process, which can vary from as long as, to more than twice as long as pro- and mesonotum combined;

(3) Cephalic process relatively robust, projecting straight anteriorly, more or less hexagonal in crosssection, narrowing from base to apex, somewhat upturned at apex in lateral view (some Afrotropical species with apex clavate in lateral view);

(4) Vertex very elongate, lateral margins weakly ridged with carinae being slightly zigzagged, often with faint median carina;

(5) Frons distinctly elongate, with lateral margins weakly ridged with carinae being slightly zigzagged, with slightly zigzagged submedian carinae, carinae sometimes obsolete; median carina either absent or incomplete and very weakly marked;

(6) Antennae with pedicel relatively short, subbulbose, fully covered with sensory plaque organs over entire surface;

(7) Tegmina narrow and elongate, almost entirely reticulate, inner marginal areas overlapping at rest;

(8) Hind tibiae with 5–7 lateral spines;

(9) Gonoplacs of adult females with basal inner area strongly and densely pilose.

Note

The above diagnosis was modified from Liang (2017) as it was necessary to expand the definition of the genus in order to encompass many Afrotropical taxa, including the type species Zanna tenebrosa Fabricius, 1775 .
