Imaging the world's sharpshooter leafhoppers

• Author(s): Turner, J; Wilson, MR;
• Abstract: The leafhoppers comprise by far the largest family within the Herniptera, with approximately 19,500 described species in over 40 subfamilies of which the subfamily Cicadellinae comprises around 2,300 species in around 330 genera. The availability of taxonomic monographs on the group and subsequent publications has made the Cicadellinae a relatively well-known group. In 2004 a project was started, funded by UK-based Leverliulme Trust, which has enabled a compilation of digital images of Cicadellinae. A background to this study is given together with details of availability of the images.
