Abstract

Fourteen new records of introduced leafhoppers are added to the 157 leafhoppers previously recorded as occurring in both the Old and New worlds. Of these, 62 were erroneously recorded previously although 12 of the European species subsequently have been found in North America. Two North American species have been introduced into Europe, and one European species has been found in South America; North America has received 61 species from Europe, 3 from Asia, and 1 from Africa. One pan-tropical species is probably a recent introduction into the Caribbean from the Old World. There are 30 transboreal leafhoppers, 5 transarctic species inhabiting the tundra and alpine meadows, and 9 inhabiting temperate regions of both Eurasia and North America.

The Aster leafhopper (Macrosteles quadrilineatus Forbes) is removed from synonymy with the transboreal sedge-feeding M. fascifrons (Stål) and 25 other confused species are distinguished in the genera Aphrodes, Euscelis, Evacanthus, Limotettix, Macrosteles, and Typhlocyba. These include 11 new species: Evacanthus bellaustralis, E. chlamidatus, E. grandipes, E. lacunar, E. nigramericanus, E. ustanucha, Macrosteles lagus, M. severini, M. tesselatus, M. vilbastei, and Typhlocyba frigida, all from North America, Balclutha punctata confluens Rey and Limotettix striola ferganensis Dubovsky are elevated to species status. One new generic synonymy, 23 new specific synonymies, and 3 new combinations are created.

Résumé

Quatorze nouvelles mentions de cicadelles introduites viennent s'ajouter aux 157 espèces déjà signalées dans les Ancien et Nouveau mondes. Parmi celles-ci, 62 ont été faussement rapportées, encore que 12 des espèces européennes aient été subséquemment rencontrées en Amérique du Nord. Deux espèces nord-américaines ont été introduites en Europe et une espèce européenne a été rencontrée en Amérique du Sud; pour sa part, l'Amérique du Nord a reçu 61 espèces d'Europe, 3 d'Asie et 1 d'Afrique. Une espèce pantropicale est probablement une récente introduction aux Antilles en provenance de l'Ancien monde. Il existe 30 cicadelles transboréales, 5 espèces transarctiques habitant la toundra et les prairies alpines et 9 habitant les régions tempérées d'Eurasie et d'Amérique du Nord.

La cicadelle de l'aster (Macrosteles quadrilineatus Forbes) n'est plus synonyme de l'espèce transboréale M. fascifrons (Stål) du carex et 25 autres espèces douteuses sont différenciées et réparties dans les genres Aphrodes, Euscelis, Evacanthus, Limotettix, Macrosteles et Typhlocyba. Celles-ci comprennent onze espèces nouvelles, toutes de l'Amérique du Nord, Balclutha punctata confluens Rey et Limotettix striola ferganensis Dubovsky sont élevées au rang d'espèce. Une nouvelle synonymie générique, 23 nouvelles synonymies spécifiques et 3 nouvelles combinaisons sont crées.
