Description
Gonatopus Ljungh, 1810
Gonatopus Ljungh 1810: 161.
Dicondylus Haliday in Curtis 1829: 110 (synonymized by Olmi 1993); type species: Dicondylus bicolor (Haliday in Curtis 1828), by subsequent designation of Kieffer (1914).
Type species. Gonatopus formicarius Ljungh 1810, by monotypy.
Diagnosis. Female: apterous or rarely fully winged; palpal formula 3/2, 4/2, 4/3, 5/2, 5/3, or 6/3; antenna with or without rhinaria; pronotum crossed or not by transverse furrow; enlarged claw with distal apex pointed and with one large or small subapical tooth (occasionally subapical tooth absent, then enlarged claw with distal group of lamellae); in fully winged forms, segment 5 of protarsus with more than 20 lamellae; tibial spurs 1/0/1. Male: fully winged; occipital carina absent or incomplete (in this last case, only present behind and shortly on sides of posterior ocelli); occiput concave; temple present; palpal formula 3/2, 4/2, 4/3, 5/2, 5/3, or 6/3; tibial spurs 1/1/2.
Distribution. Worldwide.
Hosts. Acanaloniidae, Cicadellidae (except Typhlocybinae, Idiocerinae, Macropsinae), Delphacidae, Flatidae, Issidae, Lophopidae, Tropiduchidae (Guglielmino & Olmi 1997, 2006, 2007; Guglielmino et al. 2013).
World species. Actually 441 species are known (Olmi & Virla 2014), 46 from the Australian region.
