What is another word for cicadellidae?
Pronunciation: [sˈɪke͡ɪdə͡lˌɪdiː] (IPA) 
Cicadellidae is a family of insects that are commonly known as leafhoppers. Many synonyms can be used to refer to these small, sap-sucking insects, including sharpshooters, jassids, and hoppers. The name sharpshooters is derived from their ability to shoot a fine stream of liquid waste from their abdomen, with impressive accuracy. Jassids, on the other hand, are named after the genus Jassus, which is one of the largest in the family. Hoppers simply refers to their habit of hopping or jumping when disturbed. Regardless of the name, the Cicadellidae family includes more than 20,000 species found all around the world, and play an important role in plant health.
