Based on recent collecting and an examination of museum specimens, at least
89 treehopper species (Hemiptera: Membracidae) occur in North Carolina, of
which 26 species represent new state records. The presence of 13 species p
reviously recorded from North Carolina could not be verified based on avail
able material. Three previous North Carolina records were found to be based
on misidentifications. The known distribution (by county) and host plants
in North Carolina are given for each species. Photographs of representative
taxa and a host plant index are included. Stictocephala bisonia Kopp and Y
onke is reinstated as a valid name (and not a junior synonym of Ceresa alta
Walker).
