The Curtis collection of Idiocerini, and identity of <i>Idiocerus maculicollis</i> Curtis (Auchenorrhyncha: Cicadellidae) resolved

John Curtis died in 1862 after which his then wife sold his insect collections to the National Museum of Victoria. The collections were placed in zinc-lined cabinets and sailed to Australia where they remain. In December 2019, SF was able to examine the specimens of Auchenorrhyncha, Cicadellidae, Eurymelinae, Idiocerini within the Curtis collection enabling confi rmation of their identification. The identity of Idiocerus maculicollis Curtis is established for the first time.
