Cercopoidea Organised On Line

COOL is a systematic based database on the Cercopoidea (Froghoppers or Spittlebugs). Its purpose is to gather information on the taxonomy, nomenclature, bibliography, geographic distributin and host-plants for those insects. The objective is to organise the collected knowledge on the froghoppers and to allow an easy access to these information to any interested person. This database is on the process of being developed. At the moment it is based upon the Metcalf catalogue (1960-1962) for the families Cercopidae, Clastopteridae and Aphrophoridae. Since the Epigydae were described posteriorly to this catalogue the information concerning this family were taken directly from the publication of Hamilton (2001). The Machaerotidae are up to date.

COOL数据库是一个基于系统分类的Cercopoidea（蝽蝉或泡沫蝉）数据库。其旨在收集有关这些昆虫的分类学、命名学、文献、地理分布和寄主植物的详细信息。该数据库的宗旨是组织关于蝽蝉的知识，并便于任何感兴趣的个人获取这些信息。该数据库目前正处于开发阶段。目前，它基于Metcalf目录（1960-1962年）的Cercopidae、Clastopteridae和Aphrophoridae三个科。由于Epygidae在此目录之后被描述，因此该科的信息直接来源于Hamilton（2001年）的出版物。Machaerotidae科的信息已更新至最新。
