Pyrops pyrorhynchus is a species of lanternfly of the family Fulgoridae. It is found in India, Thailand, and Malaysia.^[1]^[2]

Identification

The overall colour is brown, the tip of the head extension, which is also known as a cephalic process, is red. The basal 2/3rds of the forewings, also known as the tegmen in Fulgoridae, can be brown to green.^[3] It can be distinguished from all similar species except Pyrops pythicus by the colour, and from it by the presence of outlined circles, not unmargined spots, at 2/3rds of the tegmen. Also, P. pythicus is in Indonesia, but P. pyrorhynchus is found on mainland S and SE Asia.^{[citation needed]}

Etymology

From Greek – πυρ (fire/flame) and ῥύγχος (snout)^[4]
