| description | The study of Auchenorrhyncha species composition in Greek olive orchards is crucial due to the potential threat of <i>Xylella fastidiosa</i> invading the region. Recent studies have begun exploring agricultural landscapes, particularly olive and citrus orchards. From 2016 to 2022, biodiversity surveys were conducted in thirteen olive orchards across three regions of Greece: Peloponnese, Sterea Ellada, and the Northeast Aegean. Malaise traps were installed in each orchard and monitored monthly, supplemented by sweep net sampling in two orchards to capture less mobile species and assess their association with host plants. A total of 14,771 specimens were collected, representing 125 species predominantly feeding on weeds. The dominant species were the Typhlocybinae <i>Hebata decipiens</i> and <i>Zyginidia pullula</i>, while <i>Euscelis lineolata</i> was the most common Deltocephalinae. Aphrophoridae, including <i>Philaenus spumarius</i> and <i>Neophilaenus campestris</i>, were more effectively collected with sweep nets, primarily from <i>Avena sterilis</i> L. This study offers a detailed overview of the Auchenorrhyncha fauna in Greek olive orchards, providing essential insights for developing strategies to prevent the invasion of <i>Xylella fastidiosa</i>. |
