Leafhoppers (Cicadellidae) of the Pacific
An annotated systematic checklist of the leafhoppers recorded in the Pacific region during the period 1758 – 2000
by W.J. Knight
Bill Knight's catalogue of the Cicadellidae of the Pacific Region has been many years in the making and is now made available as an exclusive Tymbal PDF file. Although many changes to both the higher classification and the species inventories have been published more recently, this work provides an invaluable comprehensive compilation of literature, distributions and taxonomy for the leafhoppers up to to 2000 and builds on the catalogues of Metcalf (1962–1968) and Oman, Knight & Nielson (1990).
