supports: The fulgorid insect Fulgora laternaria (often misspelled "lanternaria"), is a planthopper known by a large variety of common names including lantern fly, peanut bug, peanut-headed lanternfly, alligator bug, machaca, chicharra-machacuy, cocoposa (in Spanish) and jequitiranaboia (in the Amazon region and elsewhere in Brazil). Chile, officially the Republic of Chile, is a South American country occupying a long, narrow strip of land between the Andes to the east and the Pacific Ocean to the west. It borders Peru to the north, Bolivia to the northeast, Argentina to the east, and the Drake Passage in the far south. Chilean territory includes the Pacific islands of Juan Fernández, Salas y Gómez, Desventuradas, and Easter Island in Oceania. Chile also claims about of Antarctica, although all claims are suspended under the Antarctic Treaty. This article refers to the insect genus ; for the Roman mythological figure , see Fulgora ( mythology ) The fulgorid genus Fulgora contains several large Central and South American planthoppers known by a large variety of common names including lantern fly , peanut bug , peanut - headed lanternfly , alligator bug , machaca , and jequitiranaboia ( the latter terms used in the Amazon region and elsewhere in Brazil ) . The nine species are mostly similar in appearance , with differences in the shape of the head ( often quite subtle ) , and patterns of wing coloration . The most well - known and widespread of these species is Fulgora laternaria . They can measure as long as 3 inches . There is some confusion regarding the validity of some of the currently recognised species . The type species of Fulgora is Cicada laternaria Linnaeus , 1758 , designated under the Plenary Powers by ICZN ( 1954 : 185 ) . Old World species assigned to this genus belong instead to the genus Pyrops . Pyrops candelaria ("Laternaria candelaria" and "Fulgora candelaria" in older literature) is a species of planthopper that lives in Vietnam, Hong Kong, Laos, Thailand and other parts of southeast Asia. It is the type of the genus "Pyrops" erected by Spinola in 1839. Members of this genus are sometimes called lanternflies (although lanternflies do not emit light). Like all Fulgoridae, "P. candelaria" feeds on plant sap: including longan and lychee trees (Sapindaceae), among others. Its long, slender proboscis is used to pierce tree bark to reach the phloem.  Pyrops is a genus of planthopper that occurs primarily in southeast Asia, containing about 60 species. The genus name of "Laternaria" has been used by some authors, but this name was published in a work that was suppressed in 1955 by an official declaration of the ICZN (Opinion 322). The type species is "Pyrops candelaria". They are fairly large insects, with much of the length due to an elongated, upcurving, snout-like projection of the head. The wings are generally brightly patterned in contrasting colors, and they are popular among collectors. Brazil, officially the Federative Republic of Brazil, is the largest country in both South America and Latin America. As the world's fifth-largest country by both area and population, it is the largest country to have Portuguese as an official language and the only one in the Americas. Bounded by the Atlantic Ocean on the east, Brazil has a coastline of . It borders all other South American countries except Ecuador and Chile and covers 47.3% of the continent's land area. Its Amazon River basin includes a vast tropical forest, home to diverse wildlife, a variety of ecological systems, and extensive natural resources spanning numerous protected habitats. This unique environmental heritage makes Brazil one of 17 megadiverse countries, and is the subject of significant global interest and debate regarding deforestation and environmental protection. A planthopper is any insect in the infraorder Fulgoromorpha, exceeding 12,500 described species worldwide. The name comes from their remarkable resemblance to leaves and other plants of their environment and from the fact that they often "hop" for quick transportation in a similar way to that of grasshoppers. However, planthoppers generally walk very slowly so as not to attract attention. Distributed worldwide, all members of this group are plant-feeders, though surprisingly few are considered pests. The infraorder contains only a single superfamily, Fulgoroidea. Fulgoroids are most reliably distinguished from the other Auchenorrhyncha by two features; the bifurcate ("Y"-shaped) anal vein in the forewing, and the thickened, three-segmented antennae, with a generally round or egg-shaped second segment (pedicel) that bears a fine filamentous arista.
