Abstract

In this paper, 65 type species of Cicadellinae (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae) are reported from the collections of the Museum für Naturkunde, Universität Humboldt, Berlin, Germany, described by Signoret, Breddin, Schmidt, Jacobi, Schröder, Burmeister and Emmrich. The species of Melichar have not been included because Wilson & Takiya (2007) reported them as present in the Hungarian Natural History Museum.

Keywords: Type collection; Leafhoppers; Sharpshooters; Berlin Museum, Germany.

Introduction

Young (1964) published 24 species of Cicadellinae in the genus Tettigonia Olivier described by Signoret and housed in the collections of Berlin Museum in preparation of his revisions of the World Cicadellinae (Young 1968, 1977, 1986). Emmrich (1984, 1988) described new species of Oncometopia Stål and Tretogonia Melichar, and Schröder (1959) described new species of Oncometopia. Cavichioli (1996) described a new genus and revalidated the genus Alocha Melichar.

In this paper, the authors report 65 type species of Cicadellinae housed in the Museum für Naturkunde, Universität Humboldt, Berlin, Germany, described by Signoret, Breddin, Schmidt, Jacobi, Schröder, Burmeister and Emmrich.

The species of Melichar were not included because Wilson & Takiya (2007) reported that this collection is in the Hungarian Natural History Museum.

Material and methods

The specimens with labels of types were searching in the collection and placed in separated drawers. Data of collecting labels of all the specimens were transcript to sheets of paper to then elaborate the listing presented here. In the text, specimens are separated by a semicolon, and data labels in the same pin by a slash. The references before 1955 can be found in Metcalf (1964) and will not be cited herein. All the specimens reported here are in good condition of conservation.
