Zur Verbreitung und Lebensweise einiger Zikadenarten in Niedersachsen und angrenzenden Gebieten

Nickel H. 1997. Göttinger naturkundliche Schriften 4: 151-172.

Summary

Records of 60 species of Cicadina in southern and eastern Lower Saxony and adjacent areas of Hesse, Thuringia and  Saxony-Anhalt are given. Data on habitats, host plants, phenology and distribution Iimits in northern Germany are included.

A large proportion of the species documented, mostly of European or Mediterranean distribution, reach their northern  Iimits in this area, indicating a gradient of decreasing species number in Central Europe. There are though a small number of  pecies which are continentally distributed and reach their western Iimits here, as weil as a few species which are  common and widespread in northern and northwestern Europe, but which are mainly confined in Central Europe to the peat  ogs of the Northern German Plain and the higher regions of the mountainous areas south of it.
