The Laboratory of Systematic Entomology, Faculty of Agriculture, Hokkaido University, Sapporo, Japan (SEHU), former Entomological Institute of Sapporo Agricultural College, was founded by Professor Shonen Matsumura. SEHU has preserved the insect specimens named by Professor Matsumura for a long time that includes insect specimens collected from Taiwan. Some of them are xylem-feeders, such as froghoppers and sharpshooters which can transmit xylem-limited bacteria (XLB). This article provides the checklist of Taiwan froghoppers and sharpshooters named by Professor Matsumura preserved in SEHU. The checklist contains 44 froghopper species and 4 sharpshooter species. This checklist could be a reference for studying the taxonomy of xylem-feeders in Taiwan.
