The six species ofthis genus known in Europe live chiefly on herbaceous plants.Within the Iberian Peninsula H. lapidicola, H. distinguenda andH. maroccana (NAST, 1987; QUARTAU, 1981, 1990) are known tooccur in Portugal but in Spain only the last two have beenrecorded (NAST, 1987). In this country Hauptidia distinguendahas been recorded from Ciudad Real (FUENTE, 1920) while H.maroccana is known from Álava, Valencia and Castellón (LASSO& LACHA, 1948, HERMOSO DE MENDOZA & MEDINA, 1979;LLACER et al., 1986; MEDINA et al., 1981). Of these three species,H. maroccana, causes the most important economic damages. Itis responsible for serious infestations of glass houses cultures inseveral countries and has also been recorded as a pest to severalvegetal crops, such as tomatoes and cucumbers but also to someornamental plants (DELLA GIUSTINA, 1989; HELYER & LEDIEU,1986; MAISONNEUVE et al., 1995; WARDLOW & TOBIN, 1990). This work gives new data on the distribution of the speciesof this genus in the Iberian Peninsula.Material and methodsSpecimens were sampled by sweeping with a net on plant foliage.Male genitalia were macerated in 10 % KOH, then rinsed indistilled water and placed in a drop of glycerine. Drawings wereperformed using the camera lucida attached to a microscope.Thirty-eight specimens were examined and identificationwas based on the works of DELLA GIUSTINA (1989), QUARTAU(1981, 1990) and RIBAUT (1936). For the three species ofHauptidia present in the Iberian peninsula, a host plant list wascompiled based on published information which follows thenomenclature of Flora Europaea (TUTIN et al., 1980)Results and discussionHauptidia maroccana (Melichar, 1907)The most distinctive characters of the species of this genus are theaedeagus shape and the styles. Externally they are similar inappearance and size but coloration, especially the coloured bandalong the cubital cell, is different among some species (RIBAUT,1936).  The specimens of H. maroccana examined were similar tothose drawn by RIBAUT (1936).Host plants: According to food plant records, this species ispolyphagous and its host plants include species of the followingeight families: Scrophulariaceae, Caryophyllaceae, Solanaceae,Urticaceae, Lamiaceae, Primulaceae, Asteraceae and Curcubita-ceae (DELLA GIUSTINA, 1989; HELYER& LEDIEU, 1986; LE QUESNE& PAYNE, 1981; QUARTAU, 1981; RIBAUT, 1936) (see Table I). InEngland this species was sampled on cultivated plants of Primulaand Chrysantemum (LE QUESNE & PAYNE, 1981). It was recordedin France as a pest of tomatoes and ornamentals (MAISONNEUVEet al., 1995; WARDLOW & TOBIN, 1990). In eastern Spain (Valen-cia and Castellón) a small number of specimens of this specieswere found with other leafhoppers in fruit tree fields of apricots,peaches and the following citric species: Citrus sinensis (L.)118Osbeck, C. reticulata and C. paradisi Macfad (HERMOSO DEMENDOZA & MEDINA, 1979; LLACER et al., 1986; MEDINA et al.,1981). However, since the sampling methods used  in these workswere light traps and colour sticky traps, two non-specific traps,these fruit plants cannot be considered as food plants. Distribution: In Europe this species is known from France, GreatBritain, Spain, Portugal and the former Yugoslavia, but is presentalso in Morocco (NAST, 1972, 1987). In Portugal this species wassampled in Lisbon (QUARTAU, 1981) and in Spain it is present inthe provinces of Pontevedra (this work), Alicante, Valencia,Castellón and Álava (LASSO & LACHA, 1948; MEDINA et al.,1981). All these records suggest that this species is widelydistributed in the Iberian Peninsula. Material examined: Pontevedra: Portonovo (Sanxenxo), 42º25’N  8º 47’O, 5m, 6.IX.1991, 1 on grasses around a stream;Paxariñas (Sanxenxo), 20 m, 21.X.1994, 1, 1,  leg. D. Aguin-Pombo.Hauptidia lapidicola (Vidano, 1964) VIDANO (1964) described this species from Italy but DWORA-KOWSKA (1981) gave the first illustrations of male genitalia, whichwere redrawn later by DELLA GIUSTINA (1989). Later, QUARTAU(1990) re-described this species using material from the south ofPortugal and Berlanga island. All these illustrations show thatspecimens from different localities differ morphologically in theshape of male aedeagus and styles. Spanish specimens weresimilar to those from southern Portugal drawn by QUARTAU(1990) but they show also some slight differences. The lateral hornarising from the socle of the aedeagus is wider than in specimensfrom Portugal (QUARTAU, 1990) (Figure 1b). The apical part ofstyles was slightly more curved than Portuguese specimens andeven more than is shown in Della Giustinas´ figures (Figure 1aand plate 132). All these differences  indicate that this speciesshows intraspecific variation in the shape of these two male genitalstructures.Host plants: The information on host plant associations of thisspecies is very limited and so far it has been associated only toTeucrium chamaedrys (DELLA GIUSTINA, 1989). Spanish speci-mens were sampled on an unidentified rupicolous plant growingon a small rocky place between olive trees. It is very likely thatthese specimens were hibernating. In Sicily this species was foundon Mt. Etna in clearings of pure forests of Castanea sativa Mill.and at altitudes between 400 and 1900 m (D’URSO & GUGLIELMI-NO, 1990, 1991). Distribution: It is a western Mediterranean species. Besides Spainthis species is known only to be from Portugal and Italy. InPortugal it is present in the Algarve region and Berlenga GrandeIsland, while in Italy it is present in the south, as well as in Sicilyand Sardinia (D’URSO, 1995; NAST, 1972, 1987; QUARTAU,1990).Material examined: Córdoba: Cruce Luque-Zuheros, Zuheros,37º 33’N 4º 19’W, 700 m, 30.I.1993; 12 , 23 , leg.
