Tainosia
''Tainosia'' is an extinct monotypic genus of planthopper in the Nogodinidae subfamily Nogodininae and at present, it contains the single species ''Tainosia quisqueyae''. The genus is solely known from the early Miocene, Burdigalian stage, Dominican amber deposits on the island of Hispaniola.〔
==History and classification==
''Tainosia quisqueyae'' is known only from one fossil, the holotype, number "BMNH Pal. PI II 62". It is a single individual of indeterminate sex preserved in a clear orange amber specimen.〔 The specimen is mostly complete, though the right tegmen torn, and the hind legs are partly destroyed. The insect was entombed while in resting posture, with both the hemelytra and hindwings mostly closed.〔 The amber is currently residing in the Department of Palaeontology paleoentomology collections of the Natural History Museum in London, England.〔 ''T. quisqueyae'' was first studied by Jacek Szwedo and Adam Stroiński, with their 2001 type description being published in the journal ''Genus''.〔 The generic name "''Tainosia''" was coined by Jacek Szwedo and Adam Stroiński in reference to the Tainos people who were native to Hispaniola and other islands of the Greater Antilles.〔 The specific epithet "''quisqueyae''" was designated in honor of one of the original names for Hispaniola, "Quisqueya".〔 As with the extinct ''Tonocatecutlius gibsoni'', ''T. quisqueyae'' is placed in the Nogodininae tribe Nogodinini. All other extinct members of the family Nogodinidae currently described from the Americas are restricted to the subfamily Nogodininae.
