Ahsmict. Thischecklistoftreehoppers (Hemiptera: Membracidae)fromGreatSmoky
Mountains National Park documents a total of53 species in 25 genera, based on exami-
nation of museum specimens and 3 collecting trips in association with the All Taxa Bio-
diversity Inventory (ATBI). The park's treehopper fauna represents roughly half of the
treehopper species reported from North Carolina. Twenty-four new county records are
given for North Carolina species. Moreover. 28 species are new state records (= first
publishedrecords) forTennessee, increasing itsknowntreehopperfaunato51 species(all
listed herein). Fifty-two species are apparently new records forGSMNP. Cades Cove, an
expansive meadow region in the western portion of the park, is especially species rich
with 35 species, many ofwhich feed on oaks.
