Aquaelicium typicum forewing after Banaszkiewicz & Szwedo, 2005 and Distant, 1917 (click on image to enlarge it)
Source: Wikimedia Commons

The Aquaeliciini are a group of Derbidae found in Africa which are characterized by:

  • The hindwings having a stridulatory plate with a convex outer margin.
  • The elongated forewings having a closed clavus, that is the claval vein reaches the hind margin.
  • The forewings having a branched CuA vein which merges again forming an anterior cubital area with one or more cells.
  • The clavus vein Pcu is thickened and has numerous sensory pits.


Key to the genera of Aquaeliciini

Adapted with modifications from:
M. Banaszkiewicz and J. Szwedo (2005) - Notes on Otiocerinae with description of a new tribe from Madagascar and Africa (Hemiptera: Fulgoromorpha: Derbidae), Annales Zoologici, 55 (2), 223-241
