Taxonomy edit

The tribe Zannini previously contained other genera, but its placement was the subject to debate: it is now the only genus and placed in the Zanninae at the sub-family level.[2] However, although currently placed in the family Fulgoridae, molecular studies question this placement, as the genus is sister taxon to the Dictyopharidae and Fulgoridae combined, rather than Fulgoridae alone.[3]

Description edit

The forewings are bodies are mostly grey with black speckling, and they have a long head process with small lateral spines and some folds on the surface.
