Home of the Database of Insects and their Food Plants © Roger Key Family   Delphacidae Sub Family   Description   plant hoppers Background to Family   A speciose family of small hoppers, whose species often occur as both short- and fully-winged individuals. In contrast to the Cicadellidae, plant hoppers feed mostly on grasses (Poacaeae), sedges (Cyperaceae) and rushes (Juncaceae), with exceptions on moss and ferns.     No. taxa in DBIF   58 No. interactions   120 % interactions with British data   85% No. records   125 % taxa with British data   98% Notes   Data currently unassessed by a specialist for changes in nomenclature, new species to the British list, new interactions, errors in original sources, and misspellings. Following a brief inspection in 2007, Alan Stewart judged that the data for the Auchenorrhyncha were very out-of-date, because a large body of knowledge has accrued since the last update.; ; Notes on Sources   Most recent source   1981 Below is a list of all sources for this family / sub-family contained within DBIF.
