K.G. Andrew Hamilton - Introduced Bugs Downloads

Introduced Bugs Welcome to a modern synthesis of information on short-horned bugs (Hemiptera, Auchenorrhyncha) introduced to North America. The only published information on these insects (Hamilton 1982 for Cercopidae; Hamilton 1983 for Cicadellidae) give characters to differentiate the most closely related native North American and introduced species, and correct published errors. All the spittlebug species in North America are illustrated in the former, but few of the introduced leafhoppers, planthoppers and treehoppers have been shown together before, so enjoy!
