Abstract
The hemipteran superfamily Cercopoidea Leach, 1815, usually named spittlebugs (for nymphs) or froghoppers (for adults), is the second largest superfamily in Cicadomorpha, comprising over 2600 extant species widely distributed around the world (Dietrich, 2002; Bartlett et al., 2018). Cercopoidea includes five extant and three extinct families reported from the Mesozoic (Cryan & Svenson, 2010; Szwedo, 2018).
