them now 
A while back, Chris Majka put me on to a site where one can check the  
current approved 2-part Latin name of a N. American fly (Nomina  
Diptera Nearctica).  The lists of names there also come, usefully,  
with the name of the individual who first named that species, and the  
date of this.

Does Chris or anyone else know a site that works similarly for bugs,  
Hemiptera-Heteroptera?  My colleague is back here looking at jumping  
feats in jumping bugs (actually treehoppers, Membracidae) for which we  
think we know the genus+species names for several species, but don't  
know the discoverer/date.  BugGuide.net doesn't give this info.

Also, has anybody recently come across, in the same group, any buffalo  
treehoppers recently (Ceresa tauriniformis), a rather large  
spectacular green insect with 2 `horns` at the front that inhabits low  
vegetation?  I found a couple last year at this date, but we have  
drawn a blank so far this year.
Steve
