“…The terminology problems increase when we compare these structures to those described in other groups within the Auchenorrhyncha. The term pygofer is used in all the other families of Cercopoidea 38 – 44 , as well as in Cicadellidae 45 , 46 and Membracidae 47 – 50 but pygofer does not cover quite the same structures. In Membracoidea only the tergite is considered the pygofer.…”

“…In the Cercopoidea, because the tergite is fused to the sternite, it seems logical to call this ring like structure pygofer and consider the subgenital plates separately, like for the Membracoidea. Those subgenital plates are a pair of plates arising from the IXth sternite for all the cercopoids 38 – 44 , Cicadellidae 45 , 46 and Membracidae 47 – 50 . The term lateral plate is used for the Cercopidae for the first time by Liang and Webb 3 then Soulier-Perkins and Kunz 23 .…”

“…For these reasons, we suggest changing the term lateral plate to sterno-lateral plate for the Cercopidae in order to emphasise their different origin. The appendages on each side of the aedeagus are generally named parameres in Cercopidae 6 , 12 , 15 , 22 , 23 and Machaerotidae 52 when the term style is preferred for the Aphrophoridae 39 – 43 , Clastopteridae 42 , 44 , Epipygidae 38 and Membracoidea 46 – 50 . Even though the term style is used for the Fulgoromorpha the term gonostyle is widely used as well 51 , 53 .…”

The study of male genital appendages is often necessary to identify a species and to characterise the higher systematics ranks for the Cercopidae, a large family of Hemiptera. Therefore, many authors have used them in their work but without any clear consensus on the terms used for each part constituting the male terminalia. A standardised terminology is important for the quality of a taxonomic description but even more essential when we want to compare species and establish a primary homology between states of character and their use in the frame of phylogenetic analysis. The use of a consensus terminology should ensure that we are all observing, speaking and describing the same genital appendage and comparing homologous characters. In order to propose a consensus terminology, we have reviewed all the major works on the anatomy of terminalia for the family since the first description using those characters in 1922. We proposed the use of consensual terms, listed with their definitions. In addition we studied a diversified panel of male specimens, chosen in order to represent as many Cercopidae tribes as possible. We categorised five different groups of Cercopidae according to their male terminalia structures. This opens the reflection on the evolutionary patterns for these structures.
