Abstract
The clade Clypeata, Qadri, 1967 unites all living Cicadomorpha (Cercopoidea, Cicadoidea, Myerslopioidea and Membracoidea) and their common stem group (Wang et al., 2012; Chen et al., 2019). The Clypeata first appeared in the Late Permian; and during the early Mesozoic modern cicadomorphan lineages gradually rose and flourished (Shcherbakov & Popov, 2002; Szwedo, 2018).
