Contributions to the Aphrophoridae Amyot & Audinet-Serville, 1843 (Hemiptera: Auchenorrhyncha) Fauna of the Bolkar Mountains

Abstract

In this study, 3912 Aphrophoridae specimens collected from the Bolkar Mountains between 2005–2007 were evaluated. As a result of the evaluation, nine species belonging to five genera were determined for this family in the region. All species were photographed from the dorsal view and updated distribution maps of these species were provided in the light of new information.
