Superfamily Fulgoroidea
Revision of the New World delphacid genus Pissonotus (Hemiptera: Fulgoroidea) By Bartlett, C. R. and L. L. Deitz
Entomol. Soc. Am., Lanham, 2000
Summary taken on the Entomological Society of America web site: “This comprehensive study of nearly 10,000 plant-hoppers corrects the ambiguities in the key and descriptions of Pissonotus by Morgan and Beamer (1949), applies their definitions to world fauna, addresses the suspicion that there were undescribed species in the genus, and presents a phylogenetic analysis of the genus. The end result is identification aid of the genus.”

Evolution of the Insects By David Grimaldi and Michael S. Engel
Wonderfully and copiously illustrated, communicates the current thinking on the evolution and systematics of these complex beings. Because I feel too small to review such a great book, but obviously think it should be prominent on our book list, I quote from Thomas Eisner's statement on the back cover: "A landmark contribution, not just to entomology and evolutionary biology, but to the life sciences as a whole...A must for naturalists, young and old. Truly a definitive work."
