1. Batusa pinniformis (Fowler, 1900) taxonomy
Batusa pinniformis (Fowler, 1900) 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 Fowler W. W. in 1900 in the following paper: Order Rhynchota. Suborder Hemiptera-Homoptera. (Continued). The subfamily Acanaloniinae with descriptions of the species. Biologia Centrali-Americana; contributions to the knowledge of the fauna and flora of Mexico and Central America, 1: 44-48.
It is currently classified in order Hemiptera Linné, 1758, suborder Fulgoromorpha Evans, 1946, superfamily Fulgoroidea Latreille, 1807, family Acanaloniidae Amyot & Audinet-Serville, 1843, genus Batusa Melichar, 1901.
Batusa pinniformis is an extant taxon.
