General information about sexual dimorphism

Sexual dimorphism is minimal in these taxa, as is typical for Fulgoridae , however, nearly all females in genera formerly classified as belonging to Calyptoproctina have abdominal tergum 6 modified and extending backward as a supra-anal plate, generally covering the anal tube and genitalia (though this plate is generally smaller in the genus Scaralina than is typical for related genera, and rarely completely conceals the anal tube; in two species, noted below, females lack this plate entirely). Females tend to be slightly larger than males, with a broader anal tube, and often with slightly stronger and/or more extensive dark markings in the forewings. In one species it appears that the base of the hindwing is colored differently in males and females.
