Abstract

This study presents a comprehensive and illustrated catalogue of the forewing venation of the Paleo- and Mesozoic Hemiptera planthoppers. It compiles fragmented information dispersed across various publications, ensuring a uniform interpretation of tegmina venation for fossil taxa. Taxa are presented by family and each species is documented with its stratigraphic age, and tegmina are redrawn from their original illustrations and reinterpreted with relevant comments when necessary. This catalogue aims to be a decisive tool for research into the taxonomy and phylogeny of the group by providing foundational data for comparative analyses of forewing patterns in Fulgoromorpha, as it represents a valuable shared dataset for both fossil and extant taxa. Yanducixius is formally placed in Lalacidae.
