The primitive planthopper family Cixiidae has more than 1500 known species. Probably at least twice as many species remain to be described. The family is divided into three groups of genera and species or subfamilies; only one subfamily, the Cixiinae, is known from New Zealand. This handbook was written for a wide audience, with easy-to-follow identification keys and several illustrations and maps.
