Van Duzee (1917) lists about 500 species for the United States and Canada, and at present there are about 3000 Species in the Nearctic region. Most of the Species have been described within the last thirty years. Perhaps the realization that this group as a whole is of major economic importance has directed attention to it and.has given impetus to the large wnount of taxonomic work that has been done in this field within recent years. Leafhoppers are all plant feeders and many species are pests of economic crops. They can inflict serious damage to plants and several species are known to transmit plant diseases. Sikty species are now known to be vectors of virus diseases and many more have been incriminated. In North America there are 13 subfamilies of leafhoppers which include 226 genera. This study includes all species belonging to 15 of the la subfamilies found in michigan. The purpose of this study was to compose keys for the identifica- tion of the Species found in the state, or those which may occur here, and to summarize available information pertaining to taxonomic work, known hosts, economic importance and dis- tribution of each species in the United States with particular emphasis on Michigan. In all, 87 species are listed in this 'work. The author believes on the basis of intensive collec- tion records in the literature from similar faunal areas that perhaps a total of 600 species may be found in the state of Michigan. Every effort has been made to make this work as complete as possible. However, it should be realized that work of this type is never concluded. The family Cicadellidae is composed of many species with different habits and from day to day new species are discovered and others extend their known ranges. Nevertheless, this work will suffice for those Species found in general collecting, and it is hoped, then, as an objective or aim of fliis work, to aid the student in their identification, to convey information of different species for possible studies of their habits and ecology, and contribute to the knowledge of this group in this section of the country. II. REVIEW OF LITERKTURE There have been only a few systematic treatises of the Cicadellidae at the state level in the United States. Some of the earliest works of this nature are by Osborn (1915) for the state of Maine and DeLong (1916) for the state of Tennessee. Soon after, the works of Lathrop (1919) for South Carolina, and Lawson (1920) for Kansas appeared. Later a similar work was published for Connecticut by DeLong (1923). Osborn (1928) published on the cicadellids of Ohio, and Johnson (1933) published her work on.the newly enlarged sub- family Typhlocybinae for file smne state. Within recent years the latest works on the leafhopper fauna of a state have been published include those of Medler (1942) for Minnesota and UeLong (1948), who excluded the large subfamily Cicadellinae because it was under revision, for the state of Illinois. On somewhat larger boundaries there have been two excellent publications. The most recent one was that by Bierne (1956) for Canada and alaska, Cman.(1949) classified the genera and included a checklist of the leafhopper Species of the Nearctic region. There have been countless revisions of all leafhopper genera. Citations of the revisions for some of the genera are given in the text. Some of the latest revisions in the subfamilies Athysaninae and Cicadellinae, which are not included in this paper, are as follows: Beamer (1938) Acinopterus, (1935) Alapus and Hebecephalus; Bierne (1952) Macrosteles, (1954) Streptanus; Christian (1953) Typhlocygg; DeLong (1926) Deltocephalus, (1936) Blygana, (1937) Qikran- eura, (1937) Cyperana and Paluda, (1939) Scaphoideus, (1936) Forcipata, (1937) Graminella; Hepner (1942) Alieia- Knull *’ (1946) Bandara; Lindsay (1940) Norvellina; Oman (1938) tribe Errhomenellini. Presently under revision is the Erythroneura by H. H. Ross, at the Illinois Natural History Survey. III. METMCDS Before this study was initiated a preliminary study was made to establish the extent of the leafhopper collection in the university's entomology museum. It was found that although only a few leafhoppers were identified to species there were about twenty thousand unidentified Specimens which had already been collected at different areas of the state. The writer was very fortunate in having such a large number as a beginning for a study of this nature. The uni- dentified specimens were identified to subfamily and their collection lata were recorded (Plate 1). However, it was assumed that these leafhoppers were obtained in the course of general collecting for the museum and that no particular attention was given to type of habitat. It was also noted that there were several areas, particularly the Upper Pennin- sula, where hardly a leathopper had been collected. The following plan was initiated and eventually executed in order to cover the whole state. From the Spring of 1954 to the fall of the same year, and subsequently in similar periods of the years 1955 and 1936, an attempt was made to fill in the areas not previously collected. Particular attention was given to qualitative collecting by collecting in differ- ent types of habitats. The last week of August and the first week of September, 1954, and the first two weeks of July 1935, were spent in the Upper Penninsula in order to bring into balance, as much as possible, the collecting in that ISLE y aware flare“— ,, ‘ (AK: SUPERIOR on‘rmcou :7 1 IL-..

The rest of the state was covered by collecting in the same types of habitats at different times of the collecting period (Plate 2). The material obtained was identified during the inactive seasons (fall, winter and Spring). At the end of the collecting program the writer had collected about ten to twelve thousand Specimens. When these were combined with the several hundred unidentified specimens fr m the Museum of Zoology, University of Michigan, and the Species data from the private collection of Dr. Robert lDreisbach, Midland, Michigan, it was assumed that the state had been thoroughly surveyed. The usual method of collecting was to sweep most of the \rezgetation in a selected area with a sweeping net. Christian (1953) observed that populations in the genus Typhlocyba shift during the day for several species. He believed the shift was caused by difference in temperature or light inten- :sixtjr or a combination of both factors. The writer, assuming tiizrt: the same factors cause the same effects in Species of <3tl1cur groups, collected in the Shade and light or sunlight arwaass of trees and shrubs. Barticular attention was given to Iplaxrtus that were suspected of harboring or known to harbor a group or specific species of leafhoppers. Sometimes an aSPir ator was used to collect leafhoppers from undersides of leaves before sweeping with the net. No special type of Support or ladder was carried, but an effort was made to reach we : ..'.;< " 10 the higher branches. This insured the extensive and as much as possible the complete coverage of the plant. After each collection the contents of the net, whether it be from an area containing a meadow, a group of shrubs or a particular type of plant, was placed in one of twelve killing jars. For this purpose, one-quart wide-mouth carbon tetrachloride, or one-pint wide-mouth Mason jars with cyanide were used. The wide mouth jars were used because it was easier to place the contents of the net in them. The contents of the jar were later transferred to a metal pill box so that the jar was available for re-use. Often, but not always, an ultraviolet light trapl was also used for collecting. This light trap was not used according to the manufacturer's recomnemiation which suggests the use of cyanide. Instead it was used as a light source for a white Sheet, which proved to be practical in that the leafhoppers could be aspirated from the sheet, thus time consumed in sorting them from other insects was eliminated. Electricity was readily available for the trap either at camp sit es or near the writer's overnight lodging. The trap was placed in a selected area, often using over three hundred feet of cord to reach the chosen location. The specimens were mount ed on card points in order to aVOid pinning the insect directly through the body. This Prevant ed distortion of the dimensions of the pronota and the Glcardner Black light indicator trap, manufactured by ardner Manufacturing Co., Horicon, Wisconsin.

A colorless nail polish was found best to use as an adhesive in adhering the body of the insect to the card. The sternal area of the insect was adhered to the point, rather than the side of the thorax which is the conventional way. This in- creased the Speed and facility of adhering the specimens to the card point, and the abdomen of the male specimens was severed much more easily. The use of forceps, as is custo- Inary, in grasping the tips of the wings of the specimen in (order to place it on the card was discontinued early in this :study. It was found that no matter how careful one intended ‘t<3 be, the tips of the wings where diagnostic characters were lxpcated were sometimes torn off. As a substitute, the tech- Ilquue of placing the specimens on fileir dorsal sides by roll- .iiagg them gently with a blunt instrument and ”picking” them run ‘uith the point containing the adhesive proved useful. Many workers have used several techniques with many Inc>clifications in preparing the male genitalia for study. Young (1952) aptly relates, ’"Techniques are, in file final analysis, individual inatters, and there are probably as many techniques and modifications of techniques as there are ex- lgerts. Any technique whiCh will make the internal ruale genitalia available for study under very high znagnification is a suitable one for this group of :insects, provided the structures are not dmnaged in the process.

Then pressure Was applied to the base of the abdomen with a blunt instrugtzent, and the severed abdomen was placed in a Syracuse watch glass containing ten percent KOM solution. Ten pairs of such glasses, one containing the caustic potash and the other distilled water, were used. Heat, which is usually used to enhance the dissolution of he sclerotized parts, was not used. Instead all the ”clear- .ing” w.s done at room temperature in the series of paired gjlasses mentioned above. It was found that when an abdomen unas placed in the last watch glass the first was pale enough -t<3 be studied or was soft enough for the genital capsule to 1363 opened, in which case the other abdomens were ready in tziee order they were placed in the watch glasses. Each abdo- inc2rz when ready was removed and placed in a watch glass con- ‘taijnaing water. The specimen itself was pinned to a strip of balsa wood next to the watch glass containing its respective ad>cicnnen. As soon as the abdomens were transferred from the caustic potash solution to the water another series of abdo- mens , prepared in the manner mentioned above, could be placed 5J1 1:110 solution. One set of genitalia was studied while the filllmaxving set was in the KOH. Each abdomen remained in the ‘Nat€¥r' for at least five minutes, and before each one was stu- died it was placed in a smaller watch glass or well glass Slide Containing glycerine. The next step was to study the 801‘ . . . . ‘ lltill- structure under a binocular dissecting microscope.

Several times it was necessary to open the genital capsule in order to have the diagnostic parts clearly exposed. This was done by the use of two minuten pins (Minuten nadeln), each inserted on a match stick which served as a handle, to tear away enough of the capsule to expose the genitalia. The needles were used to tease away undesirable parts and manipulated in such a xnanner as not to injure or dislocate any valuable part, such :15 a style or an aedeagus in the capsule. When the deter- urination was made the genitalia were transferred to a 4x101mi. 1ncicrovia1 containing three or four drops of glycerine for :51:orage. The vial was then corked and the pin bearing the .s;7tighly 45 degrees from the pin, and in this position the glycerine is not in contact with the corlc. There were rare occasions when it was difficult to study tilG) ‘venation or cells of wings in situ, because of the curva- ttirwe or opaqueness of the wing, or the reflection of light. thieui his situation occurred it was necessary to remove the xvirw; 'to study it. The body of a pin was slipped under the tip of the wing and eased toward the base. When near the K7OJJ11I (of articulation, the pin was given a gentle lift, thus breaking the wing off. The wing was then placed on a glass microscope slide, and xylol was added to keep it flat. in . 1 10thu31: slide was used as a cover and tne mount was placed an?! '11.: nxn .

The method used in making drawings proved to be more tine-consuming than difficult, and because of the difference in size of many species, 40, so and 1&0 magnifications were used. Whenever genitalia are studied or drawn, several workers use pieces of glass to prop the structure which is submerged in glycerine in order to observe the appropriate angles. In his study it was not deemed necessary because only the lateral and ventral views were used, and the vis- cosity of the glycerine was sufficient to keep the structure iJl‘thC desired place.

Color variation is extensive and only a linited number of Species can be definitely iden- tifi ed by external markings. individuals may exhibit vari- ation not only in color but also in the male genitalia. In many instances pepulations exhibit color and genitalic grad- ients, in which case limits are difficult to establish and identifications of these members are difficult and many times impossible to ascertain. P. Ludwig, of the Dow Chemical Co., Midland, Michigan, has undertaken to revise this group. This group is distributed throughout most of North America, south from the limits of the tree-line, in lowlands and hir-h altitudes wherever the food plants are found. One spec-"Les, suturalis Fitch, has been found in mountains in Canada, at an elevation of 7,000 ft.; another, alternatus, at 3,300 ft. Food plants consist mainly of Salix, iuniperus, an , . ‘1 P02111115, and to a lesser extent Crateagus, faxodium, Gr . , . . . wria, Ribes, Libocedrus and on the fruit bearing plants of Pyrus and firunus.

Subfani 1y menoPSIIIAE One of the most conspicuous characteristics of this group of leafhoppers is the pronotum, which is angularly produced to anterior margin of eyes or beyond and is rugose or punc- tured. Some members of the subfzuaily Agallinae resemble these, but the three apical cells of the hindwing and the small ledge over the ant ennal pits will readily distinguish the Macropsinae, ’i‘he vertex is narrow and the ocelli are on the face, The clypeus of these leafhoppcrs is small and the suture is absent. The frontal sutures terminate at the ant ennal pit U) Two genera, con aining some forty species, are recorded in this subfamily for North America. Both genera are found in Michigan, At least one species, Macr_opsis trinaculata, which f eeds on Prunus, is known to be a vector of a virus disease, Peach yellows. Other species are known to feed on PM: Bybus, Betula, Alnus, i133 ans, Corylus, Salix, P . . . 0 Ulus’ gluercus, Ulmus and Gleditszm.

These are small leafhoppers, most of them measuring between 3.5-5.01111'1-1. in length. The vertex is short; ocelli on face closer to eyes than meson. Anterior margin of prono- tun acutely or roundedly produced at least to anterior mar- gin of eyes; striae transverse. The color 'ariatien, markings, sexual dimorphism and other diagnostic characters are so minuscule that reliable separation of the species is difficult. A large number Of SPGCifiC names have arisen because of this variation. Bierne (1951) reviewed the group and reduced the twenty- one $270Cies previously described for Ilorth America to seven, of which four are found in Michigan.

Sub family APIHZODINAE The most distinguishing character of this group is the ocelli lvhich are distant from the eyes and just poterior to the margin of the vertex. The head is as wide as the prono- tum or slightly wider. In addition, the vertex appears de- pressed and angularly produced between the eyes. The Species of this group are similar to the Kestoce- w in that they normally stay close to the ground in deC 7' aying Vegetation and roots of herbaceous plants. However, they are often collected with a net. This subfamily contains only one genus. AP! {RC DES Curt i s Ahilrcdes Curtis, J. 1833. 1311:. Mag. 1(19X195. icucenhalus Germar, E. F. 1833.

Subfamily XBSTCCEPHALINAE The.Xestocephalinae include some of the smaller leaf- hoppers, usually not exceeding 4 mm. in length. They are robust, the head narrower than pronotum and bluntly rounded anteriorly. Ccelli on anterior margin of head and distant from the eyes. Antennae are near the eyes. Only one genus is recorded in the United States for this subfamily. XESTOCEPHALUS Van Duzee Xestocephalus Van Duzee, E. P. 1894. Buffalo Soc. Nat. Sci. Bul. 5(16):214. The members of thfs genus are robust and small leaf- hoppers. The head in lateral view is bluntly rounded, in dorsal view the vertex is distinctly produced between the eyes. The ocelli are near the eyes. Head narrower than pronotum. Pronotum broad; appendix of forewings small or absent. The general coloration is from dark broxn to light brown with spots. The present system of separating the species depends on color and markings. Until better diag- nostic characters are found, they will continue to be diffi- cult to separate. This subfamily and the Aphrodinae are composed of spe- cies that stay close to the ground in decaying vegetation and roots of herbaceous plants. There are fourteen species found in the United States, two of these are found in Mich- igan.

Xestocephalus nigrifrons Csborn Xestocepflglus nigrifron§_ Osborn, H. 1915. Maine Ag. Exp. Sta. Bul. 238:109. Length 2.0-2.5 mm. Vertex shorter than wide and shorter than Pronotum. Anterior margin roundedly produced between the eyes; face dark. Gross appearance dark brown or black. Vertex, pronotun and elytra uniformly dark brown; often inconspicuous light areas around margins of wings. Distribution: This species is distributed throughout the eastern states. In Michigan, it has been found in only one location. The habit of the adult of staying close to th ground in decaying vegetation and roots of herbaceous (D plants makes it more difficult to find; perhaps this is the reason urhy it has not been found elsewhere in the state. SLP. Cass Co.: Union, June 12, 1955 (Ii. L. Fischer) 59-. Sub fan 1y UYTYTC SCCF II FAF The leafhopjers of this group are easily distinguished by the Presence of short hairs on the elytra, the short ver- 'tex and 1: heir robust appearance.

The head is narrover than pronetuxrx, with the vertex short. The ocelli on face near the marrtin of vertex. Pro- notum and scutellum transversely stiate. The elytra. are broad and clothed with many hairs. There are 22 species in this group recorded in the United States. They are primarily distributed in the south- west and west to California. 9;. aniceiis, one of the four eastern species has been found in large numbers in Illinois, and it is suspected that it occurs in l-Iichirta..

Color varies from its usual bright- green to yellowish. Elytra hyaline-green with greenish hairs (Fig, 42); often with brownish markings. General appearance is short and robust. Vertex wide and parallel Illargined ; posterior margin concave. Appendix of elytra broad. Llalc valves produced posteriorly; seventh sternum of female roundedly produced and with a mesal notch. Distribution: Distributed from the southeastern to the micldlewestern states. Up to date this species has not been 001 lected in Michigan, but since the. host plant, honey 10311515. Gleditsia sp. is present in the state, it should be found here 40. 41. 42. 43. 44. Explanation of Plate 11 Xestocephalus pplicarius, adult. Aphrodes acrestis, aedeagus of male.
