A general theory of the complex pronotum morphology of treehoppers in Smiliinae and its relatives (Hemiptera: Membracidae) and its applicability to other subfamilies

A general theory of the complex pronotum morphology of treehoppers in Smiliinae and its relatives (Hemiptera: Membracidae) and its applicability to other subfamilies

Treehoppers are characterized by exaggerated and three-dimensionally modified pronotal structures, known as "helmets". The treehopper pronotum has been studied mainly in terms of taxonomic diagnosis for over a century. It has recently been used as a model for studying the origin of evoluti...
