Gnezdilov, Vladimir M. & Fletcher, Murray J., 2010, A review of the Australian genera of the planthopper family Issidae (Hemiptera: Fulgoromorpha) with description of an unusual new species of Chlamydopteryx Kirkaldy, Zootaxa 2366, pp. 35-45 : 36

Genus Chlamydopteryx Kirkaldy

Chlamydopteryx Kirkaldy 1907: 103 . Type species: Issus vulturnus Kirkaldy, 1906 .

Phaeopteryx Kirkaldy 1907: 104 (Type species: Issus sidnicus Kirkaldy 1906 ), syn. n.

Diagnosis. Metope wide, with median and sublateral keels (when present) joined before its upper margin. Metopoclypeal suture convex. Coryphe transverse. Ocelli absent. Pronotum slightly shorter than mesonotum, with tubercules laterally, without keels, paradiscal fields very thin. Fore wings wide, without hypocostal plate, with long clavus. Radius and cubitus anterior bifurcate, median bi- or trifurcate (R 2 M 2-3 CuA 2). Hind wings rudimentary or well developed, trilobed, radius bifurcate, median, cubitus posterior, postcubitus, first and second anal veins simple, cubitus anterior bi- or trifurcate; between second branch of radius and median and between median and first branch of cubitus anterior – single transverse vein (R 2 r-m M 1 m-cu CuA 2-3 CuP 1 Pcu 1 A1 1 A2 1). Second (or third) branch of cubitus anterior and cubitus posterior fused and thickened (Figure 19). Hind tibia with two lateral spines. First metatarsomere with 7–8 spines apically.

Each dorso-lateral phallobase lobe with subapical process. Aedeagus with pair of ventral hooks. Each apical aedeagal process with apical projection. Female sternum VII retracted medially. Gonoplacs triangularly elongate. Female anal tube long and narrow.

Note. Type species of both genera were examined and both match the features given above defining the genus Chlamydopteryx .
