Abstract

The type specimens of the family Delphacidae in the Matsumura Collection deposited in the Systematic Entomology, Hokkaido University, Japan (SEHU) were examined, and a corresponding catalogue is compiled with label information for each species. Lectotypes are newly designated for 50 species from 20 genera based on a comparison and review of the original descriptions.
