1. Philatis crockeri (Van Duzee, 1937) taxonomy
Philatis crockeri (Van Duzee, 1937) is currently considered as a valid taxon of species rank in the family Acanaloniidae Amyot & Audinet-Serville, 1843 of the Fulgoromorpha. This species was first described by Van Duzee E. P. in 1937 in the following paper: The Hemiptera of the Templeton Crocker Expedition to Polynesia in 1934-1935. Proceedings of the California Academy of Sciences. San Francisco. (Ser. 4), 22: 111-126.
It is currently classified in order Hemiptera Linné, 1758, suborder Fulgoromorpha Evans, 1946, superfamily Fulgoroidea Latreille, 1807, family Acanaloniidae Amyot & Audinet-Serville, 1843, genus Philatis Stål, 1862.
Philatis crockeri is an extant taxon.
