Abstract (en):
The leafhoppers or Cicadellidae (Homoptera: Auchenorrhyncha: Cicadoidea) have sucking mouthparts, three tarsal segments, forewings usually of uniform texture, antennae usually short and bristle-like, and the beak arises from the back of the head. The Cicadoidea contains five families: Cicadidae (cicadas), Membracidae (treehoppers), Cercopidae (spittlebugs), Aetalionidae (aetalionid treehoppers) and the Cicadellidae (leafhoppers). The Cicadellidae is the largest family of this group, and members have the following diagnostic characters: two ocelli or none, pronotum not extending over the abdomen, and hind tibia with one or more rows of spines. The family Cicadellidae is cosmopolitan in distribution, and members occur everywhere plants (their hosts) can survive.
