Introduction to the true hopper fauna of the Dutch Caribbean with the addition of 11 species (Hemiptera: Auchenorrhyncha)

The true hopper fauna of the Dutch Caribbean is poorly studied and there are hardly any published records. A field trip to Bonaire and the revision of specimens stored in the collection of Naturalis yielded numerous new records and the discovery of 11 species new for the Dutch Caribbean. A short history of the earlier fieldwork in the Dutch Caribbean is given, as well as an overview of the families Cercopidae, Cicadidae, Acanaloniidae, Flatidae and Kinnaridae. Of each newly reported species the distribution and ecological details are given. Photos of habitus and male genitalia are provided for most species, to support a reliable identification.
