Abstract
The Cicada fauna of the Benninger Ried, a spring fen of ca. 20 hectares in western Bavaria, with manifold vegetation types such as reeds of Schoenus nigricans, of Cladium mariscus and of Phragmites australis, extensively cultivated humid meadows, willow shrubbery, coppice of birches and alders, pine-wood and a lot of transition biotopes has been investigated. 178 species were found, among them the high number of 46 Delfacid-species, further 3 Cixiid-, 1 Membracid-, 5 Aphrophorid- and 123 Cicadellid-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.
