Abstract

Eight new nearctic leafhoppers of the genus Hebecephalus DeLong are described: H. planaria from British Columbia; H. abies from Utah; H. chandleri from Wyoming; and H. crenulatus, H. ferrumequinum, H. picea, H. pugnus, and H. veretillum from Idaho. All 27 known nearctic species are illustrated and their critical morphological characters are presented in key and tabular form, along with their geographic distribution. Evidence for endemism within southern British Columbia and the Pacific Northwest is noted.
