Abstract

This annotated list includes 87 cicadellid and 13 fulgorid entries that were found on and probably feed on elm to some extent. Thirteen of the cicadellid species listed are known vectors of virus or mycoplasmalike diseases of plants. Also, the following 18 cicadellid genera contain known vectors of virus or mycoplasmalike diseases of plants: Aceratagallia Kirk., Agallia Curtis, Agalliopsis Kirk., Chlorotettix VanD., Coelidia Germar, Colladonus Ball, Draeculacephala Ball, Empoasca Walsh, Endria Oman, Graphocephala VanD., Gyponana Ball, Idiodonus Ball, Keonolla Oman, Macrosteles Fieb., Osbornellus Ball, Paraphlepsius Bak., Scaphoideus Uhl., and Scaphytopius Ball. One fulgorid genus, Delphacodes, also contains vectors of virus or rnycoplasmalike diseases.
