Auchenorrhyncha (Hemiptera) from Crete deposited at the Natural History Museum of Crete

An analysis of 2,849 specimens from over 400 localities in Crete, housed at the Natural History Museum of Crete (NHMC), revealed 93 Auchenorrhyncha species across 10 families, representing approximatley 64% of the Island's known fauna. Despite limitations in sampling methods, 37 species were newly recorded for Crete, 10 of which are also new to Greece and 13 genera were reported from Crete for the first time. The Island's known Auchenorrhyncha fauna now totals 177 species, underscoring the importance of museum collections and continued entomological research. Additionally, an updated checklist of the Auchenorrhyncha in Crete is provided as supplementary material.
