Abstract
Species richness and composition of cicada (Auchenorrhyncha) assemblages were investigated in differently treated (conventional, IPM, organic and abandoned) apple orchards and their surroundings in Hungary in years 1999 and 2000. In the present paper as part of a larger survey data on cicada species found on the surrounding vegetation of the investigated apple orchards are given. In two investigated areas (Nyírtura and Szigetcsép) three Malaise traps were placed. One inside of the apple orchard, one in the adjacent woodland and one between the apple orchard and the woodland (named edge). In Vámosmikola two Malaise traps were placed inside of the apple orchard, one in the adjacent woodland and two in the edge. Altogether 10 146 individuals had been collected in the open, bushy edges and woodlands adjacent to apple orchards, belonging to 109 species. The species richness of cicadas varied between 47 and 67. The species occurring with high relative abundance, in decreasing order, were the following: Eupteryx calcarata, Kybos virgator, Empoasca decipiens, Eupteryx cyclops, Eupteryx atropunctata, Ribautiana tenerrima, Edwardsiana rosae, Eupteryx stachydearum, Kybos populi, Edwardsiana crataegi and Edwardsiana lamellaris.
