Abstract

Based on the results of a recent faunistic study, an annotated list of species of the suborder Auchenorrhyncha (infraorders Cicadomorpha and Fulgoromorpha) is provided for the Republic of Karelia and the Murmansk Region as well as the adjacent territory of the Arkhangelsk Region in the Vodlozersky National Park. The list contains information on the habitats with detailed geographical references, biogeographical province, biotope, sampling method, date, collectors, and the amount of the material studied for each species. In total for the studied area, 59 species are reported from the infraorder Cicadomorpha: Aphrophoridae - 7 species, Cicadellidae - 51 species, Membracidae -1 species, and 7 species from the infraorder Fulgoromorpha: Cixiidae - 4 species, Achilidae - 1 species, Delphacidae - 2 species. Of those species, nine have not been previously registered in the territory of Karelia, two species are listed for the first time for the Murmansk Region, and the discovery of leafhopper Psammotettix striatus (Linnaeus, 1758) is the first record for the territory of Fennoscandia. Thus, the total number of known species of Auchenorrhyncha for the territory of Karelia is 201, and for the Murmansk Region - 110.
