Revision of the Macropsini and Neopsini of the new-world (Rhynchota: Homoptera: Cicadellidae), with notes on intersex morphology
By K.G.A. Hamilton
D.C. Eidt Editor, 1983
Include distribution maps and illustrations of Macropsini and Neopsini of the new-world. Well done and a must for someone who wants to know better these leafhopper tribes. Don’t know if it is still available for sale. Good libraries has it or could get it via ILL (Inter Library Loan).

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.”

The leafhoppers, or Cicadellidae, of Illinois (Eurymelinae - Balcluthinae)
By Dwight Moore Delong
Bulletin of the Illinois Natural History Survey, Volume 24, Article 2, State of Illinois
A devote bug photographer, I became interested in leafhoppers about a year ago. It's easy finding specialty guides and books on popular insects, but not so for leafhoppers. This is the first book I've found available for leafhoppers. A large number of species have named since this book was published in 1948. No problem.

This is NOT a field guide. This 376-page book is full of illustrations and descriptions to positively ID many of my local fauna. The descriptions are detailed for a better understanding this family, yet easily to understandable by an amateur like me. You will not find a better leafhopper book for $30.

Phylogeny and systematics of the treehopper subfamily Centrotinae (Hemiptera: Membracidae).
By Matthew S. Wallace & Lewis L. Deitz
Associated Publishers, 2004
Memoirs on Entomology, International, Volume 19

From Associated Publishers Web site:
Memoir 19 treats the phylogeny and systematics of the long neglected treehopper subfamily Centrotinae (Hemiptera: Membracidae). This work includes: phylogenetic hypotheses used to place 206 of 216 genera into monophyletic tribes; an illustrated tribal key and descriptions for identifying the 23 valid tribes (6 new); and discussions of phylogeny, biogeography, and several life history traits. The monograph also provides 186 figures illustrating key tribal and generic characteristics (with 1500 individual digital photographs from both light and scanning electron microscopy and line drawings).
