Links to Original Descriptions of Early Treehopper Genus-Group Taxa: Part 2 (1900 to 1928)
2024-08-31
Covering the period 1900 to 1928, Part 2 completes our compilation of links to original descriptions of early Treehopper Genus-Group Taxa. See the Introduction of “Links to Original Descriptions of Early Treehopper Genus-Group Taxa: Part 1 (1775 to 1899)” (archive of past Treehoppers news dated 2024-08-23) for further details of this project. Of the 399 genus-group treehopper taxa proposed between 1775 and 1928, 257 remain valid genera (5 of which are also valid subgenera); another 4 represent valid subgenera. The 257 currently valid early genera represent nearly 57% of all 452 currently recognized treehopper genera. Moreover, Parts 1 and 2, along with other items in the searchable archive of Treehoppers news, provide access to a significant portion of the early taxonomic literature on treehoppers. To search (CONTROL+F or COMMAND+F) for a specific reference in the entire archive, use the Metcalf reference identifier as the keyword.
As in Part 1, the references are arranged chronologically by their Metcalf reference identifiers. See the online bibliographic database DrMetcalf for expanded literature citations for these identifiers. Genus-group names proposed within each publication are arranged by the page numbers on which the original descriptions appear. All taxa are genera except those marked “Sg” (subgenus) or “G&Sg” (Genus and subgenus); for taxa not currently considered valid, their current taxonomic status is also indicated (see the header below). In Part 2, online links were not found for nine references that are here indicated as “NEEDED.” It is hoped that online links will soon be available for these works, all of which should now be in the pubic domain.
We note that Buckton’s “A Monograph of the Membracidae” was originally issued in three sections (Buckton 1901a: pp. 1-92, plates 1-28, A-B; 1902a: pp. 93-180, plates 29-38; and 1903a, pp. 181-296, pls. 39-60). All three were combined in Buckton 1903b [link shows Z. P. Metcalf’s annotated copy] along with an introduction (pp. i-x) and a paper by Poulton (1903a: 297-285).
Links: Reference (Metcalf identifier: author, year, a letter suffix) Rank is Genus, except “G&Sg” = Genus and Subgenus, “Sg” =Subgenus only]/ Taxon Status (if not valid) [h = junior homonym; s = junior synonym; n = unavailable (nomen nudum); r = unavailable (rejected)] Taxon Name (listing of treehopper genus-group taxa proposed in the reference).

Depictions of Treehopper Diversity from the Early 1900s
2024-08-24
This gallery provides a sampling of plates from taxonomic publications describing new genera of treehoppers between 1900 and 1928. Pause and delight in both the diversity of treehoppers and the diversity of styles used to depict them. Only selected plates are shown here, but to view the entire series of plates in a listed reference, click on the link indicating the number of plates associated with that work (given in parentheses in the figure captions, below). Additional treehopper illustrations from the early 1900 were featured in Treehopper news items dated 2015-11-09 and 2016-01-19. Here we made no attempt to determine either the names of the illustrators who produced the plates or the current valid names of the treehoppers depicted. Moreover, the present gallery celebrates a forthcoming Treehopper news item presenting “Links to Original Descriptions of Early Treehopper Genus-Group Taxa: Part 2 (1900 to 1928)."

Links to Original Descriptions of Early Treehopper Genus-Group Taxa: Part 1 (1775 to 1899)
2024-08-23
Introduction. Available bibliographic links to early original descriptions of Treehopper Genus-Group Taxa were compiled for incorporation into the genus and subgenus taxon pages of the Treehoppers Website. Overall, this two-part compilation will list 116 references (issued between 1775 and 1928) in which 399 new treehopper genus-group taxa were proposed. Prior to 1775, treehopper species were placed in the genus Cicada, sensu lato. The publications below are arranged chronologically by their Metcalf reference identifiers. The online bibliographic database DrMetcalf provides expanded literature citations for these identifiers. Herein, genus-group names proposed within each publication are arranged by the page numbers on which the original descriptions appear. All taxa are genera except those marked “Sg” (subgenus) or “G&Sg” (Genus and subgenus); for taxa not currently considered valid, their current taxonomic status is also indicated (see the header “Links.” below).
Part 1 (below) covers the years 1775 to 1899. Part 2 will cover 1900 to 1928 (works published before 1929 are now in the public domain). A similar compilation (archive of past Treehoppers news dated 2024-07-13) provided links to the original descriptions of all 51 treehopper family-group taxa proposed through 1928. Search hints: Bookmark the archive of past news as a useful tool to find online links to numerous early publications on treehoppers. Once in the archive, just search (CONTROL+F or COMMAND+F) for the appropriate Metcalf reference identifier (author[s] last name, year, and letter suffix). We use the shortened identifiers given in Metcalf’s catalogues, where the authors initials are omitted in the identifiers. Where several authors share the same surname, such as “Smith” or “Walker,” the three elements of their reference identifiers will seldom be identical, and DrMetcalf will facilitate disambiguation. In addition to literature searches, one can complete simple searches of the entire news archive by taxon names or other keywords.
We note that Metcalf gave the pagination of Spinola 1850a as pages 1-60, with new treehopper genera on pages 54-55; in the copy of this work shown in the link below, the page numbers inexplicably jump from p. 48 to p. 89, with the new genera on pages 94-95. With some early works published over an extended period of time, the plates were not always bound in the same volume as the corresponding texts (see the two links to Spinola 1852a, below; also the two links to Walker 1851a, below). Moreover, there is no reason to assume early works combining a series of issues that appeared over a period of years would all be bound identically.
Links: Reference (Metcalf identifier: author, year, a letter suffix) Rank is Genus, except “G&Sg” = Genus and Subgenus, “Sg” =Subgenus only]/ Taxon Status (if not valid) [h = junior homonym; s = junior synonym; n = unavailable (nomen nudum); r = unavailable (rejected)] Taxon Name (listing of treehopper genus-group taxa proposed in the reference).

Part 1 (below) covers the years 1775 to 1899. Part 2 will cover 1900 to 1928 (works published before 1929 are now in the public domain). A similar compilation (archive of past Treehoppers news dated 2024-07-13) provided links to the original descriptions of all 51 treehopper family-group taxa proposed through 1928. Search hints: Bookmark the archive of past news as a useful tool to find online links to numerous early publications on treehoppers. Once in the archive, just search (CONTROL+F or COMMAND+F) for the appropriate Metcalf reference identifier (author[s] last name, year, and letter suffix). We use the shortened identifiers given in Metcalf’s catalogues, where the authors initials are omitted in the identifiers. Where several authors share the same surname, such as “Smith” or “Walker,” the three elements of their reference identifiers will seldom be identical, and DrMetcalf will facilitate disambiguation. In addition to literature searches, one can complete simple searches of the entire news archive by taxon names or other keywords.
We note that Metcalf gave the pagination of Spinola 1850a as pages 1-60, with new treehopper genera on pages 54-55; in the copy of this work shown in the link below, the page numbers inexplicably jump from p. 48 to p. 89, with the new genera on pages 94-95. With some early works published over an extended period of time, the plates were not always bound in the same volume as the corresponding texts (see the two links to Spinola 1852a, below; also the two links to Walker 1851a, below). Moreover, there is no reason to assume early works combining a series of issues that appeared over a period of years would all be bound identically.

Note on Carl Stål’s Treehoppers from Stuart McKamey
2024-08-22
Carl Stål (1833-1878), who described many genera and species of treehoppers still considered valid, seldom included illustrations in his publications, and most, if not all, depict taxa other than treehoppers. Fortunately, the staff of the Naturhistoriska Riksmuseet (NHRS: Swedish Museum of Natural History) provide high resolution photographs of Stål’s specimens through their online request form at https://www.dina-web.net/loan/ [accessible with the browsers Firefox and Safari]. - S.
