Fulgoromorpha (planthoppers and relatives) are part of the group Auchenorrhyncha (together with the Cicadomorpha) and include families of insects where the antennae are inserted below the eyes. (The Auchenorrhyncha can be distinguished from the Sternorrhyncha by the rostrum clearly originating from the head and the antenna being short with a terminal arista.) Several families, e.g. the Delphacidae, include efficient vectors of plant diseases. Stephen W. Wilson (2005) has published a taxonomic key to the 20 families of Fulgoromorpha as well as keys to the economically important groups of the south-eastern U.S.A.
