Planthoppers form the large, diverse superfamily Fulgoroidea, with 12,000 described species placed among 20 families: Acanaloniidae, Achilidae, Caliscelidae, Cixiidae (including Achilixiidae), Delphacidae, Derbidae, Dictyopharidae, Eurybrachidae, Flatidae, Fulgoridae, Gengidae, Hypochthonellidae, Issidae, Kinnaridae, Lophopidae, Meenoplidae, Nogodinidae, Ricaniidae, Tettigometridae, and Tropiduchidae. The more species rich families include Delphacidae, Derbidae, Cixiidae, Flatidae, and Fulgoridae.
