A Review of the Planthoppers (Hemiptera: Fulgoroidea) of the United States: Supplement 1

Abstract

Here we review changes to the planthopper (Hemiptera: Fulgoroidea) fauna north of Mexico since the publication of “A review of the planthoppers (Hemiptera: Fulgoroidea) of the United States” (Bartlett et al. 2014). There are 12 species in 4 families added to the fauna and 50 changes in the generic assignment in 4 families. The most significant faunal addition is the spotted lanternfly (Lycorma delicatula (White)), with populations reported in 14 states and vagrants in 3 more. We review some nomenclatural and taxonomic issues and provide a list of anomalous records that may represent unreported or undescribed species that require further investigation. All told, these additions and changes (excluding anomalous records) give totals of 175 genera and 924 species in 13 families of planthoppers, a net addition of 1 family, 8 genera, and 10 species to the tally provided in 2014.
