The latest find of Ipsviciidae (Hemiptera, Cicadomorpha) from the Early Cretaceous of Mongolia

This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Shcherbakov, Dmitry E. (2025): The latest find of Ipsviciidae (Hemiptera, Cicadomorpha) from the Early Cretaceous of Mongolia. Zootaxa 5715 (1): 427-432, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5715.1.36, URL: https://doi.org/10.11646/zootaxa.5715.1.36AbstractStorozhenkella phoenix gen. et sp. nov., singled out in Storozhenkellinae subfam. nov., was discovered in the Early Cretaceous Shar-Tolgoy locality in Southern Mongolia. This is a Lazarus taxon—the latest and the only Cretaceous find of Ipsviciidae (Scytinopteroidea) after a gap of about 80 Myr in the fossil record of this family. This hopper was probably a seed or leaf mimic on waterside plants. Distalization of the costal fracture in the new genus is a heteropterous character, also found in the only post-Permian genus Triknightia (Triknightiinae subfam. nov.) of another scytinopteroid family, Paraknightiidae.
