Preliminary key to the nymphs of the families and subfamilies of the German Auchenorrhyncha fauna

(Hemiptera, Fulgoromorpha et Cicadomorpha)

Abstract

A preliminary key for identification of the nymphs of German Auchenorrhyncha to the level of family and subfamily is presented. It covers 7 families and, within Delphacidae, 4 subfamilies and within Cicadellidae, 13 subfamilies. Each group is represented by at least one species. Altogether 49 species are illustrated, with 60 additional figures of diagnostic characters.
