Taxonomy

The tribe Zannini previously contained other genera, but its placement was the subject to debate: it is now the only genus and placed in the Zanninae at the sub-family level.[2] Some authorities question whether it should even be placed in the Fulgoridae (see below).[3]

Description

They are mostly grey with black speckling with a long snout with some folds on the surface. Although currently placed in the family Fulgoridae, molecular studies question this placement suggesting the genus may belong instead in Dictyopharidae.[3]
