Introduction No catalogue of Northern European Auchenorrhyncha (hereafter shortly named “hop- pers”) has previouslybeen published. Existing catalogues covering parts of thearea (Vil- baste 1974, Ossiannilsson 1983) have become old and new species have been found in more thorough taxonomic research and faunistic inventories. New trap-collecting tech- niques haveincreasedthematerial in manyof thecountries in the21st centuryandrevealed a northward expanding trendof manyspecies living in central Europe.

Byelorussia, bor dering in the west to Lithuania, has been left out, becausea checklist including 331 hopper speciesrecordedin this countryhasquiterecentlybeenpublishedbyBorodin2004). 3. Present knowledgebase Iceland No national collecting activityof hoppers has developed(Erling Olafsson, pers. comm.). Most data stem from two sources, the collecting of the Swedish entomologist C.H. Lin- droth (reported by Ossiannilsson 1947b) and theGerman entomologist M. v. Tschirnhaus in 2001 (reportedbyRemane, 2005). Thetotal known species numberfrom Icelandthus sumsonlyto8. Norway The bulk of previous hopper information has been compiled by H. Holgersen (1944a, 1944b, 1945, 1946, 1954) and F. Ossiannilsson (1943, 1962, 1974, 1977, 1978, 1981, 1983). Recent collecting activities in Norwayare relatively high including collecting with different ©Arbeitskreis Zikaden Mitteleuropas e.V. - download unter www.biologiezentrum.at AnnotatedcatalogueoftheAuchenorrhynchaofNorthernEurope 35 trap techniques. Publications of new species havealso been frequent (Huldén 1982, Hol- gersen 1985, 1992, Raatikainen & Ylönen 1988, Hansen & Borgersen 1991, Olsen 1999, Hansen2000,Endrestöl2008).Asoftoday291 hopperspecieshavebeenrecorded. Denmark Most hopper recordings in Denmark were made by N.P. Kristensen (1965a, 1965b) and L.Trolle(1966, 1968, 1973, 1974, 1982) andhavebeen compiledin theappendix of Os- siannilssons book series (1983). The recentmost list of Danish hoppers was given by L.Skipper(2001) andincludes no new species sinceOssiannilssons work. Someadditional records of expanding species havebeen publishedon theweb. Thereis a verymodest hop- percollecting activityin Denmark at present. Theknown hoppernumberforDenmark is now295. Sweden Thebasis forhopperknowledgein Sweden has been compiledbyF. Ossiannilsson (1947a, 1978, 1981, 1983). Afterwards records of new species andregional findings havebeen pub- lishedbyG. Gillerfors (2002, 2003, 2005, 2008). Therecent collecting activity is low, but Swedish trapping projects haveproduceda substantial amount of new material of which onlya part has been analysedyet. Sweden holds thehighest number of recordedhoppers in Northern Europewith 417species. Finland Regularlists of hoppers havebeen producedformore than a centuryin Finland(Sahlberg 1871, Lindberg 1935, 1947, Linnavuori 1969a, 1969b, Huldén & Heikinheimo 1984). The latest overview was given byG. Söderman (2007). Collecting activityhas increasedsincethe establishment of theExpert Group on Hemiptera. Extensivetrapping schemes including light-traps (seeSöderman 2005), Malaisetraps, color-pans andpitfall-traps (seeSöderman 2007) havebeen usedin thefaunisticinventories of the21st century. Thenumberof spe ciesrecordednowamountsto401. Estonia TheEstonian hopper fauna was surveyedformanyyears byJuhan Vilbaste, who startedto publish a national book series of thegroup (1971). It was, unfortunately, nevercompleted, but records of Estonian species werelatergiven byhim in his article on theLatvian and Lithuanian fauna (1974). In thelate20th centuryandin thebeginning of the21st century some Finnish entomologist havecollected a small material of hoppers also from northern Estonia, but this material, locatedin theZoological Museum of Helsinki, does not include manynew species. Collecting activityin Estonia is nowadays modest. Thenumberof spe ciesrecordedfromEstoniaisnow305. Latvia Thebasicknowledgeof thehopperfauna was given by Velce& Danka (1970). Later, Vil- baste(1974) revisedsomeolddata andaddeda substantial amount of new species basedon his fieldcollecting in the1960´s. Sincethen onlyVarzinska (1983) has publishedon Latvian leafhoppers. Thelatest list publishedon theweb (Spungis & Kalnins 2002) does not ac knowledgeVilbaste´s work andis thereforemisleading. Thereis no activityon hopperre search in the country. However, hopperrecords from pitfall trapping of the coastal grey ©Arbeitskreis Zikaden Mitteleuropas e.V. - download unter www.biologiezentrum.at 36 G.Söderman,G.Gillerfors,A.Enderstöl dunes in 2006 have recently been published (Söderman & Spungis 2008). Presently, 333 speciesareknownfromLatvia. Lithuania Oldknowledgeof hoppers is foundin Flor (1861) who identifiedmaterial from thecollec tions of Gimmerthal (1846). Someof Flor´s records havebeen revisedbyVilbaste(1973) who also undertook extensivefieldcollections in Lithuania in the1960´s. Theresults were publishedmuch later(Vilbaste1974). Morerecent data onlystem from light-trapping in the Cepkeliai NatureReservein 2007 (Söderman & Dapkus, unpublished) andshort fieldvisits in the southeastern part of the country (Söderman & Rintala, unpublished). The species numberforLithuaniais now331. Northwestern Russia Oldinformation on hopperrecords from Northwestern Russia is difficult to findin litera- turebecause the formerinformation base only included majorsubdivisions of theSoviet Union: Northwestern Russia extending east to theKomi Republic, Western Russia includ ing the Baltic countries, and Southwestern Russia including parts of Byelorussia and Ukraine(seee.g. Emeljanov 1964). Records from parts, which in prewartimes belongedto Finlandsuch as Petsamo in theMurmansk region (Lindberg 1932), Karelia properandthe Isthmus of Karelia (Sahlberg 1871, Lindberg 1947) areavailable forthesubdivision used here. Furthermore, the new inventories made by Anufriev (2000a, 2000b) and Dmitriev (2002) in theMurmansk region areveryuseful. Thenumberof hopperrecords forother different administrative regions in this catalogue is low, as present collecting interest in theseregions has been low. Manyof therecords in the cataloguehavebeen producedwith trapping usedin co-operativeinsect monitoring between FinlandandRussia in 1993-2008. Theonlyreport of this activityhas been presentedby Söderman & Goltsova (2005). As of now 104 species areknown from Kaliningrad, all recordedbyA.P.

  • Working List of Prairie Restricted (Specialist) Insects in Wisconsin (11/26/2015)
    Working List of Prairie Restricted (Specialist) Insects in Wisconsin (11/26/2015) By Richard Henderson Research Ecologist, WI DNR Bureau of Science Services Summary This is a preliminary list of insects that are either well known, or likely, to be closely associated with Wisconsin’s original native prairie. These species are mostly dependent upon remnants of original prairie, or plantings/restorations of prairie where their hosts have been re-established (see discussion below), and thus are rarely found outside of these settings. The list also includes some species tied to native ecosystems that grade into prairie, such as savannas, sand barrens, fens, sedge meadow, and shallow marsh. The list is annotated with known host(s) of each insect, and the likelihood of its presence in the state (see key at end of list for specifics). This working list is a byproduct of a prairie invertebrate study I coordinated from1995-2005 that covered 6 Midwestern states and included 14 cooperators. The project surveyed insects on prairie remnants and investigated the effects of fire on those insects. It was funded in part by a series of grants from the US Fish and Wildlife Service. So far, the list has 475 species. However, this is a partial list at best, representing approximately only ¼ of the prairie-specialist insects likely present in the region (see discussion below). Significant input to this list is needed, as there are major taxa groups missing or greatly under represented. Such absence is not necessarily due to few or no prairie-specialists in those groups, but due more to lack of knowledge about life histories (at least published knowledge), unsettled taxonomy, and lack of taxonomic specialists currently working in those groups.

Chorological and ecologi- cal data are also provided for each species. Keywords: Insecta, Hemiptera, Fulgoromorpha, Cicadomorpha, Poland, rare species, distributional maps Introduction Leafhoppers represent a group of herbivorous insects belonging to the He- miptera ordo, which includes two separate developmental lineages as suborders – Fulgoromorpha and Cicadomorpha. They are an important component of ter- restrial or semi-aquatic ecosystems, where specimens and species can be found in large numbers 1. They are exclusively phytophagous with many species feed- ing on a certain plant genus or even on one single plant species thus ecological- ly forming a homogenous group known also as 'Auchenorrhyncha'. Phloem sap is their usual food but some families like Cicadidae, Cercopidae and some Ci- cadellidae utilize xylem sap instead, and most Typhlocybinae cicadellids feed on the content of mesophyll cells 2. According to Nickel and Hildebrandt, leaf- hoppers are a useful tool for monitoring the biotic conditions of grassland habi- tats since: i) the numerous species occur in high population densities, ii) being primary consumers they interact with both plants and predators, iii) they show specific life strategies and occupy specific spatial and temporal niches, iv) they respond rapidly to the management regime and v) whole assemblages can be described quickly by sampling several times a year 3.

  • A Review of the Systematics of Hawaiian Planthoppers (Hemiptera: Fulgoroidea)L
    Pacific Science (1997), vol. 51, no. 4: 366-376 © 1997 by University of Hawai'i Press. All rights reserved A Review of the Systematics of Hawaiian Planthoppers (Hemiptera: Fulgoroidea)l MANFRED ASCHE2 ABSTRACT: With 206 endemic species, the phytophagous Fulgoroidea, or planthop­ pers, are among the most important elements of the native Hawaiian fauna. These principally monophagous or oligophagous insects occur in nearly all Hawaiian terrestrial ecosystems. Species of two of the 18 planthopper families occurring worldwide have successfully colonized and subsequently radiated in Hawai'i. Based on collections made mainly by Perkins, Kirkaldy, Muir, Giffard, and Swezey, more than 95% of these species were described in the first three decades of this century. The systematics of the Hawaiian planthoppers has changed little in the past 60 yr and is not based on any phylogenetic analyses. This paper attempts a preliminary phylogenetic evaluation ofthe native Hawaiian p1anthoppers on the basis ofcompara­ tive morphology to recognize monophyletic taxa and major evolutionary lines. The following taxa are each descendants of single colonizing species: in Cixiidae, the Hawaiian Oliarus and Iolania species; in De1phacidae, Aloha partim, Dictyophoro­ delphax, Emoloana, Leialoha + Nesothoe, Nesodryas, and at least four groups within Nesosydne. Polyphyletic taxa are the tribe "Alohini," Aloha s.l., Nesorestias, Nesosydne s.l., and Nothorestias. Non-Hawaiian species currently placed in Iolania, Oliarus, Aloha, Leialoha, and Nesosydne are not closely allied to the Hawaiian taxa. The origin of the Hawaiian planthoppers is obscure. The Hawaiian Oliorus appear to have affinities to (North) American taxa. ALTHOUGH THE HAWAIIAN ISLANDS are the most Other groups of Hawaiian insects have isolated islands on earth, they house a remark­ received far less attention, although they are ably rich flora and fauna.

A diagnosis for all species, illustrations and an identification key is provided. All species are found in the midwestern and southeastern states of the U.S., except A. caninus which is recorded from Arizona and New Mexico, and are all associated with native grasslands. Key words: Delphacidae, Fulgoroidea, Delphacodes, new genus, new species Introduction This study reports a new and locally common species of Delphacidae that appears to be restricted to bluestem grasses, Andropogon spp., in native tallgrass prairies. It is superficially similar to the widespread bluestem special- ist Muirodelphax parvula (Ball) (see Hamilton & Kwon 2010) and has probably been overlooked until now in grassland surveys.

Leafhopper and planthopper (Auchenorryncha) assemblages were investigated at a lowland site in the United Kingdom supporting acidic and mesotrophic grasslands reverting from agricultural use, alongside remnants of semi-natural acidic heath. Further areas of agricultural land had been subject to soil inversion with or with- out addition of sulphur, heather brash and seed material to establish acidic heath or mesotrophic grassland. Eleven years after work commenced, Auchenorrhyncha assemblages of heath created on former arable land were most closely related to those of remnant semi-natural heath and reversion acidic grasslands. In contrast, an area of heath created on former pasture eight years previously, and at an earlier stage of devel- opment, supported an insect assemblage more closely

Quebec has a very recent history of viticultural entomology as the first artisanal permit for wine making was issued by the Quebec Government in 1985, and the first formal research project about arthropods associated with vineyards was initiated in 1997. The Quebec viticultural industry has consistently developed over ca. 35 years and, given the prospects of global warming, warmer abiotic conditions will allow to cultivate cultivars of better oenological value. Meanwhile, some invasive species that recently arrived in Quebec are causing concerns because they are threatening the sustainability of pest management programs. In this article, we will review of the evolution of entomological research in Quebec vineyards. We will then treat technology transfer activities that allowed to translate research results into protection programs. Finally, we will discuss new and coming entomological problems that are challenging the sustainability of pest management programs in Quebec vineyards.
