The scenario of the Auchenorrhyncha fauna of Sicily shows about 40% of taxa inhabiting the Italian territories. In the present contribution 358 species with a sufficiently known distribution, are considered. The majority of them has a Mediterranean distribution (about 35% of the total) with prevalence of theWest-Mediterranean and endemic ones.These groups, together with those showing Central-Asiatic or Turanian distribution (about 19%) and Euro- Mediterranean distribution (about 13%), are the most characteristic of the Auchenorrhyncha fauna of Sicily. Generally they are thermophile species, well adapted in the xeric and subxeric habitats, widespread in Sicily.

Abstract
The scenario of the Auchenorrhyncha fauna of Sicily shows about 40% of taxa inhabiting the Italian territories. In the present contribution 358 species with a sufficiently known distribution, are considered. The majority of them has a Mediterranean distribution (about 35% of the total) with prevalence of theWest-Mediterranean and endemic ones.These groups, together with those showing Central-Asiatic or Turanian distribution (about 19%) and Euro- Mediterranean distribution (about 13%), are the most characteristic of the Auchenorrhyncha fauna of Sicily. Generally they are thermophile species, well adapted in the xeric and subxeric habitats, widespread in Sicily.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
