1. Afronisia pallida (Linnavuori, 1973) taxonomy
Afronisia pallida (Linnavuori, 1973) is currently considered as a valid taxon of species rank in the family Meenoplidae Fieber, 1872 of the Fulgoromorpha. This species was first described by Linnavuori R. E. in 1973 in the following paper: Hemiptera of the Sudan, with remarks on some species of the adjacent countries. 2. Homoptera Auchenorrhyncha: Cicadidae, Cercopidae, Machaerotidae, Membracidae and Fulgoroidea. (Zoological contribution from the Finnish expeditions to the Sudan No. 33). Notulae Entomologicae, 53(3) : 65-137.
It is currently classified in order Hemiptera Linné, 1758, suborder Fulgoromorpha Evans, 1946, superfamily Fulgoroidea Latreille, 1807, family Meenoplidae Fieber, 1872, subfamily Meenoplinae Fieber, 1872, genus Afronisia Wilson, 1988.
Afronisia pallida is an extant taxon.
