Illustrations of diagnostic characters including male and female genitalia are provided. The systematic position of the genus is briefly discussed. Morphological characters and distribution data suggest a recent dispersal event to New Caledonia, probably from Australia, linked with a possible relaxation/inhibition of ancestral constraints on feeding behaviour.

The formerly proposed evolutionary relationship of the family is reviewed in the light of the record of lophopids in European deposits. The biogeographic pattern and host plant relationships of these insects are briefly discussed. The taphonomic features of the fossil specimen are examined under Low Vacuum SEM and the results of X-Ray EDS analysis are presented.

Taxonomic placement of some fossil taxa ascribed to Tropiduchidae is discussed. The classification of Tropiduchidae is discussed, as well as phylogenetic position and fossil record of Tropiduchidae and related taxa.

The most recent taxonomic studies and phylogeny of these insects do not include the extinct representatives. Therefore, each new discovery of a fossil lophopid is of high interest, giving new insights to their evolutionary history and enabling to test the proposed relationships. The recent findings of extinct Lophopidae in Europe, in various Palaeogene deposits, put in doubts their proposed evolutionary and biogeographic scenario. The new fossil from the Palaeocene of Northern Tibet is related to one of the Lophopidae clades, Apia+ group, believed to be the most advanced one, and recently distributed in the recent Sundaland-New Guinea-Queensland area. A new genus and species Gesaris gnapo gen. et sp. n. provide information on early lophopids diversity and relationships and demonstrates the necessity for a revision of the existing hypotheses for the initial diversification and distributional pattern of the Lophopidae.

Each term is listed with a morphological definition, compared and linked to the main systems of planthopper forewing description that have been reviewed. The importance of a standardized and homology-driven terminology is stressed to enhance the quality of data in taxonomic descriptions and to strengthen phylogenetic morphological analysis results. When the interpretation of the origin of vein branches is render difficult, a three-step strategy for pattern recognition of the vein is proposed based on two principles: (1) vein forks are more informative than topology of the vein branches: a search for
homologous areas, the nodal cells in particular, must first
guide the recognition rather the number of branches of a
vein, and (2) minimum of ad hoc evolutionary events
should be invoked in the understanding of a modified vein
pattern. Examples of some conflicting interpretations of
venation patterns in planthoppers are discussed within
different families for both extant and extinct taxa. For the
first time, the concept of brachypterism is defined in a nonrelative way independently from other structures, and the
new one of hyperpterism is proposed; a reporting system is
proposed for each of them.

While the first two species of Madagascar Flatidae were described by Guérin-Méneville (1844), it was Signoret (1860) who made the first real attempt to enhance our knowledge of the Hemiptera fauna of Madagascar by describing several additional species. Over the following century and a half, several investigators have turned their attention to this group of insects, with the final number of species recorded for the island reaching 79. Despite this long history of research, it is evident that much still remains to be done. Detailed taxonomic research will allow the natural history of Madagascar and changes in the biological diversity of its endemic ecosystems to be better understood. This paper should be considered as an introduction to a complex study on the systematics and phylogeny of worldwide Flatidae planthoppers.

(Trombidiformes: Erythraeidae, Callidosomatinae) and Latois nigrolineata Ś wierczewski et Stroiń ski sp. nov. (Hemiptera: Fulgoromorpha, Flatidae) from Madagascar are provided. The first host record for ectoparasitic larvae of Dambullaeus Haitlinger, 2001 and the first evidence on host-parasite association between flatid adult and erythraeid larvae are given. Genus Dambullaeus, known exclusively from larvae and now comprising two species of Gondwanan distribution, is critically reappraised.

Habitus, external morphology, male and female terminalia and internal genital structures of the new species are illustrated. The new genus is similar to Latois Stål, 1866 in head morphology, wing shape and venation, male and female terminalia but differs in a rudimentary median carina on pronotum and mesonotum, longer apical cells of tegmen and details of the male reproductive parts: style, periandrium, aedeagus, as well as female ones: gonapophysis VIII and diverticulum ductus.

The species names of parasitic mites are verified according to the most recent data. Altogether, representatives of 26 parasitengone genera are known to parasitize bugs. The systematics of the hemipteran hosts is provided in the form of appendix.
