Abstract
Leafhoppers are common and abundant insects in worldwide. Numerous leafhopper species are considered serious plant pests, and those as vector plant diseases inflict untold economic losses in agricultural crops. the present work aims to surveyleafhoppers species infesting medicinal and aromatic plants in Egypt. Soleafhopper adults and nymphs were collected from these plants at different localities in Egypt using both sweeping net and aspirator throughout 2011 to 2015. Fifteen leafhopper species belonging into four subfamilies and fourteen genera were surveyed. Synonyms, diagnostic morphological characters and host plants were provided.
