The first cixiid planthopper (Fulgoromorpha: Cixiidae) from Lower Cretaceous Jinju Formation (Republic of Korea)

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: A new extinct genus and species of Cixiidae are described as Jinjucixius fui gen. et sp. nov. from the Lower Cretaceous of Jinju Formation (Republic of Korea). This new taxon is one of the earliest representatives of Cixiidae and extends the fossil record of the family to this outcrop, being the first Fulgoromorpha described from this formation. The description of this new taxon allowed us to discuss the phylogenetic relationships between cixiid lineages.
