Abstract:

In order to research on faunal structure and phylogeny of Cicadellidae in Henan, the cladistics methods were applied in analyzing the phylogenetic relationships. As a result, 209 species of Cicadellidae in Henan were described which were grouped into 86 genera and 18 subfamilies. The results showed that 86 genera of Cicadellidae were distributed in different zoogeographical regions of the world, such as 13 in Oriental region, account for 15.12%. 9 in Palearctic region, account for 10.47%. In zoogeographical regions of China, 50 species in central China region, account for 23.92%; 28 species in north China region, account for 13.40%. both central China region and north China region had 55 species, account for 26.32%. The cladistics methods were applied to analyze the phylogenetic relationships with 18 subfamilies by using 23 morphological characters.
