1. Nothodelphax distincta (Flor, 1861) taxonomy

Nothodelphax distincta (Flor, 1861) is currently considered as a valid taxon of species rank in the family Delphacidae Leach, 1815 of the Fulgoromorpha. This species was first described by Flor G. in 1861 in the following paper: Die Rhynchoten Livlands in systematischer Folge beschrieben. Zweiter Theil: Rhynchota gulaerostria Zett. (Homoptera Au.t). Cicadina und Psyllodea. Archiv für die Naturkunde Liv-, Ehst-und Kurlands. (Ser. 2), 4: 1-567.

It is currently classified in family Delphacidae Leach, 1815, subfamily Delphacinae Leach, 1815, tribe Delphacini Leach, 1815, genus Nothodelphax Fennah, 1963.

Nothodelphax distincta is an extant taxon.
