Bourgoin, Thierry & Szwedo, Jacek, 2023, Toward a new classification of planthoppers Hemiptera Fulgoromorpha: 2. Higher taxa, their names and their composition, Zootaxa 5297 (4), pp. 562-568 : 563

Fulgoromorpha Evans, 1946

Fulgoromorpha sec. Evans, 1946: ‘division’: 57

- Fulgorellae sec. Latreille, 1807: ‘tribu’: 163

- Archaeorrhyncha Sorensen et al., 1995: suborder: 54, 55, 31

- Fulgoromorpha sec. Bourgoin & Campbell, 2002: suborder: 74

Chronostratigraphic occurrence: Carboniferous, Moscovian (315.2 Ma to present). Older fossil occurrence: Aviorrhyncha magnifica Nel, Bourgoin, Engel & Szwedo, 2013 in Nel et al., 2013.

Note. First divisions within Hemiptera , particularly with the monophyly of Sternorrhyncha and Auchenorrhyncha, and place of Coleorrhyncha, still remain in discussion (reviewed in Szwedo, 2018). The taxon Fulgoromorpha is maintained at a suborder level and Evans’ proposed name, widely accepted and used now is conserved. A graphical summary of Fulgoromorpha classification is proposed in figure 1.
