Key Identification Features
- Multiple very similar species in the Fulgora genus are found from Central to South America, and many museum and commercial specimens labeled as Fulgora laternaria are actually other distinct species.
- Members of the Pyrops genus are commonly called lanternflies, named for their distinct cephalic process despite the fact that these insects do not actually emit light.
- This feature, combined with its mostly white tegmen, sets Pyrops sultanus apart from all other Pyrops species.
- candelaria, these features are red or orange.
