4 GENERAL CATALOGUE OF THE HOMOPTERA 



Fabricius 1803a. The full reference can be obtained by consulting the 

 Bibliography of the Cicadelloidea in which authors are arranged alpha- 

 betically, and their works chronologically under the author's name. 

 This method of citation ehminates the necessity for a complete Hterature 

 citation in the catalogue proper, and thus saves time, space, and publica- 

 tion costs. It is believed that the revised method will cause no great 

 inconvenience to the reader. Dr. Metcalf himself advocated it under 

 certain conditions, and it is felt that its use would have met with his 

 approval for his catalogue. 



The Family Coelidiidae consists of 53 genera, 7 subgenera, and 432 

 species. Family characters are not listed here because the leafhoppers 

 presently assigned to this group are so varied. 



The following classification has been adopted for this family:

Family Coelidiidae 5 



Subfamily Coelidiinae 11 



Tribe Tinobregmini 12 



Tribe Coelidiini 16 



Tribe Thagriini 87 



Tribe Stegelytrini 90 



Tribe Sandersellini 91 



Subfamily Neocoelidiinae 95 



Tribe Neocoelidiini 95 



Subfamily Tartessinae 123 



The species have been recorded from the following zoogeographical 

 regions: 32 from the Nearctic Region, 57 from the Caribbean Region, 

 94 from the Neotropical Region, 38 from the Palearctic Region, 31 from 

 the Ethiopian Region, 42 from the Oriental Region, 44 from the 

 Malaysian Region, 17 from the Austromalayan Region, 33 from the 

 Australian Region, 21 from the Oceanic Region, 22 from two or more 

 regions, and 1 from an unknown locaHty. 



The known geographic distribution of each species is indicated by 

 superscript figures at the end of the lines which correspond to geographic 

 regions designated by the same superscript figures. In general, the 

 distribution is as given by the author of the reference, the country being 

 considered the smallest unit, except in the case of large countries, where 

 states and provinces are the smallest units. In the larger island groups 

 the individual islands are indicated wherever possible in view of the 

 importance of island endemism.
