auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; "><d --0-807011060-1285088902=:87707 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Hi Steve, I've seen buffalo treephoppers around my place fairly often over the summer. I can't remember the last time I saw any in the garden - perhaps a couple of weeks ago. I shot photos of one back on July 24. Here are links to a couple of the shots: http://www.pbase.com/image/128675988 http://www.pbase.com/crocodile/image/128675989 regards, Bev Wigney Round Hill, N.S. ________________________________ From: Steve Shaw <srshaw@dal.ca> To: naturens@chebucto.ns.ca Sent: Tue, September 21, 2010 1:15:48 PM Subject: [NatureNS] treehopper discoverers-dates site? 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.
