No full textArboridia simillima (Wagner, 1939) (Fig. 2F) First record from Switzerland: Valais, Orsières, extensively managed meadows [46 °01’ 44 ’’ N; 07°09’ 82 ’’ E, 1022 m], 1 ♂, 17.08. 2011, D-vac, leg. Aline Andrey, det. Gernot. Kunz Distribution in Europe: Luxembourg (Nickel et al. 2010), Austria, Czech Republic, France, Germany, Hungary, Switzerland. Remarks:In Germany A. simillima occurs on sun-exposed shrubs in open xerothermic woodlands, mainly in slope and plateau situations on limestone, gypsum and porphyry. Host plants are Rosa spinosissima and other roses, probably R. rubiginosa and perhaps R. canina (Nickel 2003).Published as part of Valeria Trivellone, Eva Knop, Tabea Turrini, Line Andrey, Jean-Yves Humbert & Gernot Kunz, 2015, New and remarkable leafhoppers and planthoppers (Hemiptera: Auchenorrhyncha) from Switzerland, pp. 273-284 in Mitteilungen Der Schweizerischen Entomologischen Gesellschaft 88 on page 277, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.3399
Acanalonia conica Say 1830
No full textAcanalonia conica (Say, 1830) (Fig. 1) First record from Switzerland: Ticino, Agno, green area [45 ° 59 ’ 44.51 ’’ N, 8 ° 54 ’ 9.21 ’’ E, 272 m], 1 ♂, 26.07. 2014, mouth aspirator, leg. &det. Valeria Trivellone. Distribution:USA, Northern Italy, Switzerland. Remarks: A. conica is for the moment the only representative of the family in Europe. In North America this extremely polyphagous planthopper is commonly found feeding mixed with flatid species such as Metcalfa pruinosa (Say, 1830), Anormenis chloris (Melichar, 1902) or Ormenoides venusta (Melichar, 1902) (Wilson & Lucchi 2001). In Europe it was recorded for the first time in 2004 (Italy: Veneto) (D’Urso &Uliana 2004, 2006).Published as part of Valeria Trivellone, Eva Knop, Tabea Turrini, Line Andrey, Jean-Yves Humbert & Gernot Kunz, 2015, New and remarkable leafhoppers and planthoppers (Hemiptera: Auchenorrhyncha) from Switzerland, pp. 273-284 in Mitteilungen Der Schweizerischen Entomologischen Gesellschaft 88 on page 274, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.3399

Chlorita tamaninii Wagner 1959
No full textChlorita cf. tamaninii Wagner, 1959 (Fig. 4) First record from Switzerland: Ticino, Ludiano, Ronco Pizzotti, vineyard, [46 ° 24 ’ 57.92 ’’ N; 8 ° 58 ’ 11.39 ’’ E, 459 m], 2 ♂♂, 1 ♀, 21.06. 2011, D-vac, leg. & det. Valeria. Trivellone Distribution in Europe:Italy, Switzerland. Remarks:In total 24 species of the genus Chlorita Fieber are known from the Palaeartic region. Four of them: C. subulata (Ribaut, 1933), C. viridula (Fallen, 1806), C. tamaninii Wagner, 1959 and C. paolii (Ossiannilsson, 1939) belong to the Chlorita viridula species group and are closely related. Wagner (1959) published a key to distinguish the above-mentioned species. Up to now, in Switzerland only C. viridula (Ribaut 1933, Cerutti 1939) and C. paolii (Trivellone &Pollini Paltrinieri 2011) were recorded. In 2011, the first author had collected specimens with aedeagus morphological characteristics quite different from C. viridula and C. paolii. According to the key after Wagner (1959), two main subgroups of species were recognized based on the characteristics of the appendages of the aedeagus: appendages without ablunt tooth and convergent in the viridula-subulata subgroup; and appendages with ablunt tooth and divergent in the paolii-tamaninii subgroup. The appendages of the examined specimens do neither coincide perfectly with the first, nor with the second subgroup. The following description of aspecimen is proposed as reference to further collections. Determination:The genital plate with parameres and the appendices of the anal tube are illustrated in Figs 4 A and 4 B, respectively; they are similar to C. viridula after Le Quesne &Payne (1981). In the male, aedeagus with apair of recurved appendages, longer than main stem, without tooth along outer margin; but hardly S-shaped in the middle (Fig. 4C) and ending in sharp-hooked apices (Fig. 4D).Published as part of Valeria Trivellone, Eva Knop, Tabea Turrini, Line Andrey, Jean-Yves Humbert & Gernot Kunz, 2015, New and remarkable leafhoppers and planthoppers (Hemiptera: Auchenorrhyncha) from Switzerland, pp. 273-284 in Mitteilungen Der Schweizerischen Entomologischen Gesellschaft 88 on page 278, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.3399
