Angulapteryx texana
Species of insect
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Angulapteryx texana is a planthopper native to the United States, described by Paul Wilson Oman in 1936. The generic placement of the species had been disputed, but a 2025 revision clarified that its former placement in Poblicia was erroneous, and placed it instead in its own genus, Angulapteryx.[1]
