Abstract

A new family of Fulgoroidea, Jubisentidae fam. nov. from the mid-Cretaceous Burmese amber is described, comprising two new monospecific genera, Jubisentis hui gen. et sp. nov. and Furtivirete zhuoi gen. et sp. nov. The probable relationships of this new family with other Fulgoroidea are briefly discussed. Peculiar features such as tegula and hind wing absent, foliaceous legs, tegmina subbrachypterous, body and tegmina covered with long bristles, seem to indicate a unique survival strategy of these cryptic insects.
