Authors: Guglielmino, Adalgisa; Bückle, Christoph; Remane, Reinhard Abstract: The results of several research trips carried out during the past six years in the Central Italian regions of Lazio and Abruzzo (including only few localities in Umbria), covering a variety of biotopes from coastal up to high mountain sites, are presented: 331 species were found, 3 of them - already published separately - new to science (Kelisia italica Guglielmino & Remane, Rhopalopyx cigigas Guglielmino and Euscelis venitala Remane, Bűckle & Guglielmino), 10 of them apparently not yet recorded from Italy, 11 probably first records from continental Italy, even more (38) seem to be first records for "peninsular" Italy ("S" of D'Urso, 1995). These numbers demonstrate the gaps in previous research as well as the need for further research in order to obtain a reliable basis to recognize the change of species distribution or even species set in future times (results e.g. of global warming, pollution etc.). For all species their distribution - altitude, biotopes etc. - in the examined region is discussed, for some of them in comparison with their geographic distribution in Italy, for some taxa taxonomical or nomenclatural remarks are added. An appendix mentions some taxa (3 of them new for peninsular Italy) collected 1977 in Marche/Umbria (Monti Sibillini) and Abruzzo by the third author.

Authors: Guglielmino, Adalgisa; Bückle, Christoph; Moya-Raygoza, Gustavo Abstract: The postembryonic development and external morphology of each larval instars of Gonatopus bartletti Olmi, 1984 are described and illustrated. The affinities among the immature and mature larvae of G. bartletti and corresponding instars of other species of the same subfamily are discussed. The mature larva shows a peculiar structure never observed in other Gonatopodinae species: near the base of each mandible a peculiar subrectangular heavily sclerotized and dark pigmented area, with a lens-shaped quite transparent protuberance in its antero-lateral angle. Its function is unknown.

Authors: Remane, Reinhard; Bückle, Christoph; Guglielmino, Adalgisa Abstract: Euscelis venitala n. sp., a new Euscelis taxon from the Appennine Mountains of Central Italy. E. venitala n. sp. is rather similar and probably most closely related to E. venosus (Kbm.), but clearly differs in structures of the male (“Dorsalrand-Struktur”, edeagus) and female (base of G VIII, “Intervalvenstück”) genitalia. Living on meadows it is so far known from 4 localities situated between 1000 and 1400m elevation in the Central Appennine Mountains (Monti della Laga, Maiella), i.e. allopatrically distributed with E. venosus (Kbm.) inhabiting a large “montaneous” area from northern Spain and Great Britain into Russia (recorded as far east as Kazakhstan and Altai Mts.), but in Italy apparently confined to the Alps. As structural differences between both taxa are distinct and no “transitional” variation was found in each taxon, we take these differences as a proof for interrupted gene flow due to a low “spread ability” of both taxa (all specimens - 130 - of E. venitala n. sp. seen so far are brachypterous, and so are most of E. venosus (Kbm.)). Until contrary evidence is brought up we consider E. venitala n. sp. as endemic species of the Central Region of the Appennine Mountains - a region rich in endemic taxa also in other groups of animals.

Authors: Guglielmino, Adalgisa; Bückle, Christoph Abstract: A small sector of Northern Apennines - the Tuscan-Emilian Apennines - constitutes an interesting diversity centre of a new Verdanus species group closely related to V. bensoni and the V. limbatellus group. It consists of three species: V. tyrannus sp. nov., V. saurosus sp. nov. and V. rosaurus sp. nov., the latter with two subspecies, V. rosaurus rosaurus ssp. nov. and V. rosaurus rex ssp. nov., which doubtless form a monophyletic group (V. rosaurus group). Data on their distribution, ecology and life cycle are added to their original descriptions. The new taxa live allopatrically in a very restricted area and populate in this way a distribution gap of another species group of Verdanus, the V. abdominalis group, present in Italy in the mountain regions of the Alps and Central and Southern Apennines. We present a hypothesis of the origin of the new taxa based on the ecological conditions in the Tuscan-Emilian Apennines during the last Postglacial period and on the limited dispersal ability of these normally brachypterous insects. In addition we discuss possible synapomorphic characters and phylogenetic relationships of the new taxa with each other and with V. bensoni (China) and the V. limbatellus group (V. limbatellus (Zetterstedt), V. kyrilli (Emeljanov), V. sichotanus (Anufriev), V. kaszabi (Dlabola)) and conduct a cladistic analysis. Comparing V. bensoni and the V. limbatellus group on the one hand and the V. rosaurus group on the other, we observe some morphological characters changing often in parallel on the same paths, independently from the phylogenetic hypothesis we proceed from. It is astonishing that within the same morphological characters the range of variation is similar in the species of the comparatively minute area of the Tuscan-Emilian Apennines and the other taxa of the vast areas of northern and central Eurasia.

Kybos albitalicus sp. nov., a species closely related to K. virgator (Ribaut) and living together with this species on Salix alba (L.), and Arboridia itangulata sp. nov., with clear affinity to A. expansa Zachvatkin, are described as new. Several Tamaricella populations from Italy including Sardinia and Sicily, collected on Frankenia laevis L. and Tamarix spp. and provisionally classified as T. cf. ribauti (Zachvatkin) are compared in genital morphology, measurements and coloration. Taxonomic problems concerning T. ribauti and related species are discussed. The aedeagus and pygofer appendage of Tamaricella gr. cypria (Ribaut) from Pantelleria are figured.

Recently we discovered two new species of this genus in Italy, which we describe in this paper as C. apenninica sp. nov. and C. sibillinica sp. nov. For all four Chlorionidea taxa we provide descriptions and an identification key. Details of male and female genitalia, aspects of head morphology and the fifth instar nymph of C. sibillinica are shown. In addition we discuss phylogenetic relationships between the four taxa. In three of the four species anti-symmetry in male genitalia is observed. We discuss this phenomenon and compare similar cases in other Delphacidae. Finally we summarize the available data on life cycle, food plants and geographical distribution of Chlorionidea species.

Accordingly to Red Data Book of the German Auchenorrhyncha (Remane et al., 1998) 3 species (Chloriona stenoptera, Megameloides lesquesnei, Xanthodelphax xanthus)belong to category 1 (Critically endangered. 15 species to category 2 (Endangered), 16 species to category 3 (Vulnerable(, 7 species (Javesella stali, Kybos mucronata, Empoasca apicalis, Edwardsiana soror, E. ampliata, Balclutha saltuella, Cicadula rubroflava) to category R (Rare), 2 species to category D (Data deficient) and 12 species to category 5 (Near threatened). Megameloides lesquesnei and Muellerianella fairmairei are new records for Bavaria.The sampling places and periods are recorded for each species. Some quite interesting species are discussed in regard to host-plants or life cycle. The Cicada fauna of some characteristical vegetation types is outlined. Measusures for the further protection of the natural reserve are proposed.

Authors: Bückle, Christoph; Guglielmino, Adalgisa Abstract: Im Rahmen ausführlicher Untersuchungen der aquatischen Fauna und Vegetation an Quellen und Fließgewässern im Bereich des Hohen Trauchbergs im Ostallgäu wurden auch die Zikaden erfasst. An 5 Fließgewässerstellen und in 6 Quellbereichen wurden 2008/2009 rund 5500 Exemplare gesammelt und bestimmt. Die Ergebnisse insgesamt und an den einzelnen Stellen sowie die Vorkommen bemerkenswerter Arten werden besprochen. Die 11 Sammelstellen werden in 6 ökologische Kategorien eingeteilt und zusammenfassend charakterisiert: Insgesamt wurden 154 Arten nachgewiesen, 64 davon in der Roten Liste Bayern. Die enge ökologische Bindung der gefundenen Zikadenarten an Quell-, Ufer- und Moorstandorte wird anhand ihres Wirtspflanzenspektrums deutlich, somit auch ihre Eignung zur ökologischen und naturschutzfachlichen Bewertung von Feuchtgebieten und Gewässerrändern.; During extensive research on the aquatic fauna and the vegetation of springs and brooks in the Hoher Trauchberg area (Allgäu, Bavaria) also Auchenorrhyncha were considered. 5 sites at brooks and 6 spring areas were selected. 2008/2009 about 5500 specimens were collected and identified. The results in total and at the single sites as well as the occurrence of particular species are described and discussed. The collecting sites are classified into 6 ecological categories and characterized. 154 species in total were found, 64 of them are mentioned in the Red Data Book of Bavaria. The close ecological connection of the Auchenorrhyncha species collected with spring-, riverbank- and fen-biotopes is revealed by their host plant spectrum; this underlines their applicability for environmental assessment.
