The Hemiptera (Hemiptera, Rhynchota) are an insect - order within the neuflügler (Neoptera). The Encyclopedia of Entomology put the number of species described at 82,000 in 2008 and estimated the total number of species worldwide to be 200,000. About 8000 of them live in Europe . The Hemiptera include the large groups (suborders) of the plant lice , the cicadas and the bugs . The species are very different in shape, color and way of life.
features
All groups belonging to the Schnabelkerfen are characterized by piercing-sucking mouthparts : The lower lip of the animals is designed as a slide for the piercing spines consisting of the mandibles and maxillae . Inside the laciniae (part of the maxilla) there is a channel through which suction can take place, as well as a saliva channel through which saliva is conducted into the feeding site. In all Schnabelkerfen parts of the oral cavity are transformed into a suction pump. The front legs are transformed into robbery legs in some representatives, in others the hind legs are developed into row or jump legs. Usually there are two pairs of wings. Similarities can be found in the structure of the wing fields. The anal field is clearly separated from the rest of the wing and the radial sector is always single-branched.
The distinction between adult animals of the three large groups of Central European Schnabelkerfe can be made using the features shown in the table:
feature Cicadas (Auchenorrhyncha) Bed bugs (heteroptera) Plant lice (Sternorrhyncha) Foot (tarsus) tripartite, at least middle and hind legs bipartite or tripartite one or two-part Trunk (rostrum) at the "back" lower end of the head, directly at the throat mostly at the front end of the head at the "rearmost" lower end of the head, apparently just before or after the hips of the 1st pair of legs Wing posture Roof-shaped, wings always present, sometimes shortened mostly folded flat over the abdomen, sometimes absent, sometimes shortened roof-shaped, often absent Forewing Fore wing mostly thin-skinned (membranous) or strongly chitinized over the entire surface, never structurally divided into two parts Fore wing usually divided into two parts, consisting of a strongly chitinized basal (corium, clavus) and a thin-skinned and transparent apical part (membrane) ( hemielytron ) Forewing thin-skinned (membranous) Sensors (antennas) comparatively short consisting of two strong basic limbs and a flagellum four or five mostly strong limbs relatively long, usually four-limbed, consisting of more or less similar limbs, partly absent Way of life, habitat only in rural habitats, mostly good jumping ability only a few species with the ability to jump, in land habitats, on the surface of the water and in the water partly fixed (scale insects), mostly free to move (aphids), partly with jumping ability (leaf fleas), only in land habitats
Systematics
External system
In the cladistics , the order of the Schnabelkerfe is compared with the order of the fringed winged (Thysanoptera) within the Condylognatha . This in turn stands opposite the Psocodea within the Acercaria . The Acercaria probably form the dichotomous sister group of the ground lice (Zoraptera) within the Paraneoptera .

Internal system
Outwardly it is a very diverse group. It is divided into the large groups of cicadas , plant lice , bed bugs and sheaths (a very small relic group of Gondwanian insects, with only 25 species , which are widespread on the continents of the southern hemisphere). Within the Schnabelkerfe four or five monophyletic groups, which are usually understood as subordinate groups, are known. The family relationships between these groups have not yet been conclusively clarified. Formally, they are still treated as subordinates.
Molecular biological studies confirm that the cicadas (Auchenorrhyncha) form a paraphylum . The group is then divided into two sub-orders: round-head cicadas (Clypeorrhyncha = Cicadomorpha) and pointed-head cicadas (Archaeorrhyncha = Fulgoromorpha). The latter are seen as more closely related to the bed bugs (Heteroptera).
There are different views on the status of subordination among bedbugs and sheaths. Traditionally, they are each seen as a separate subordinate of the Hemiptera. Different editors combine them to a new common subordination Prosorrhyncha (syn. Heteropteroidea, Heteropterodea).
The earlier names “Homoptera” and “Auchenorrhyncha” are to be regarded as obsolete. While the " Gleichflügler " as Paraphylum are now invalid taxon, for reasons of continuity, the latter term is (still) partly used for the cicadas.
- Round-headed leaf hoppers (Clypeorrhyncha = Cicadomorpha)
- Pointed-head cicadas (Archaeorrhyncha = Fulgoromorpha)
- Prosorrhyncha
- Plant lice (Sternorrhyncha)
