Zanna tenebrosa

Classification

Class
Insecta

Zanna tenebrosa is a large planthopper in the subfamily Zanninae in the family Fulgoridae. The nymphs are sometimes referred to as lantern-flies because of their large lantern like snout, although this does not emit light. This species occurs in mainland Africa, and also in Madagascar, where it has often been known under the name Zanna madagascariensis (or as a subspecies, Zanna tenebrosa madagascariensis), and referred to there as the Malagasy lantern bug.
