Abstract
THE advent of the present part of the “Faune de France“ series will be welcomed by all students of Hemiptera. It deals with leaf-hoppers of the group Typhlocybidse, which are often difficult to identify, and much confusion has existed with regard to certain of its members. Although more usually classified as a group of the Jassidse, M. Ribaut separates the Typhlocybidae from the latter on vena-tional characters. Revision of the British species has long been needed and the appearance of this volume will prove a valuable aid to their identification since almost all of them are represented in the French fauna. Twelve new species and several new varieties are described, some also being recorded from England, and are consequently not yet recorded in any English work.
