17th Central-European Auchenorrhyncha Meeting/ 17. mitteleuropäische Zikaden-Tagung

In 27-29 August 2010 we organized an international scientific meeting on the leafhoppers and planthoppers (Hemiptera, Auchenorrhyncha) of Central Europe. It was attended by 44 specialists from 10 countries. The scientific programme was composed of 12 talks and three poster presentations and field excursions into the national nature reserves Slanisko u Nesytu, Děvín-Kotel-Soutěska and Svatý kopeček near Mikulov. The meeting was organized by Igor Malenovský and Petr Baňař (Moravian Museum, Brno) in cooperation with the Administration of the Pálava Protected Landscape Area.
