Pyrops
Genus of planthoppers / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Pyrops is a genus of planthoppers that occur primarily in southeast Asia, containing about 70 species.[1] They are fairly large insects, with much of the length due to an elongated, upcurving, snout-like projection of the head. The wings are generally brightly patterned in contrasting colors, and they are popular among collectors.
