Derbidae is a family of insects in the order Hemiptera, the true bugs. It is one of the largest and most diverse families of planthoppers.〔Rahman, M. A., et al. (2012). (Taxonomic revision of the tribe Zoraidini (Hemiptera: Fulgoromorpha: Derbidae) from Korea. ) ''Entomological Research'' 42(5), 227-42.〕 It is widely distributed around the world, especially in the tropics, and with many species in subtropical and temperate regions.〔Emeljanov, A. F. and M. J. Fletcher. (2004). (''Hemielissum evansi'', a new genus and species of Breddiniolini (Hemiptera: Fulgoromorpha), being the first Australian record of the tribe, with a discussion of the taxonomic position of the Breddiniolini. ) ''Australian Journal of Entomology'' 43(1), 38-42.〕 Adult derbids feed on plants, and nymphs feed on fungi,〔(Planthopper Identification. ) Partnerships for Enhancing Expertise in Taxonomy (PEET) Workshop, Albany, New York. 2007.〕 Many adults are host-specific, feeding on a single plant species, and hide under leaves.〔(North American Derbidae. ) College of Agriculture and Natural Resources. University of Delaware.〕 Many derbids are easily recognized as such by their "unusual" appearance, while others are less distincive and difficult to identify. The family is characterized by a row of spines on the rear leg and a short segment at the tip of the beak. The head may be quite compressed in shape. The wings are variable. Some species hold their wings outward at rest as moths do, while others keep them parallel to the body.〔 Some have simple wings, and others have very long forewings and short hindwings.〔Hamilton, K. A. (2011). (Making sense of Fulgoroidea (Hemiptera): new phylogenetic evidence. ) ''Cicadina'' 12, 57-79.〕 The family Derbidae contains nearly 1700 species in about 159 genera.〔Bourgoin, T. (2013). (Derbidae Spinola, 1839. ) Fulgoromorpha Lists on the Web (FLOW) v.8. Accessed 20 November 2013.〕 These are classified in three subfamilies:〔 *Cedusinae *Derbinae *Otiocerinae ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Derbidae」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
