"Treehoppers, a small group of hemipteran insects related to cicadas, have evolved a peculiar morphological structure known as the helmet. It expands dorsally over most of the body length and has diversified to extremes within the family, conveying most of the treehoppers’ shape diversity (Fig. 1)."
