Treehoppers in the family Membracidae are entomologically famous for the extreme morphological diversity of their pronotum, which often consist of brightly colored and curiously shaped structures. With regard to pronotal morphology, the Neotropical treehopper subfamily Heteronotinae Goding, 1926 is amongst the most diverse, displaying remarkably dissimilar structures across its nine curre…
Heteronotus is the most species rich genus in the subfamily Heteronotinae, and shows complex arrangements of pronotal spines and nodes that are thought to mimic wasps, ants, or be cryptic. Heteronotus species also exhibit marked sexual dimorphism of pronotal structures. This characteristic, strictly associated to ant mimicry or camouflage, represents a unique condition in the subfamily. T…
