The planthopper and leafhopper communities inhabiting various plant assemblages covering coal-mine dumps in the vicinities of Ruda Śląska city and Mikołów city (Upper Silesia, Poland; UTM CA46) are described. Plots , are described in details, with plant species and phytosociological groupment given, if possible. Dynamics of planthoppers and leafhoppers populations, dominance structure and diversity indices, constancy index are described and analyzed. Chorological composition, as well as ecological content of communities are discussed. Species composition similarity indices are also analyzed. List of 109 species recorded in analyzed plots is given. Two species recorded are new to Polish fauna: Mocydiopsis parvicauda RIB. and Psammotettix dubius OSS., and 15 species are new to fauna of Upper Silesia region: Cixius distinguendus KMB, Tachycixius pilosus (Ol.), Delphacodes venosus (germ.), Javesella salina (hpt), Oncopsis carpini (j. shlb.), Tremulicerus tremulae (estl.), Zyginidia scutellaris (h.-S.), Macrosteles sordidipennis (StAl), Doratura impudica horv., Rbytistylus proceps (KMB), Rhopalopyx preyssleri (H.-S.), Ophiola russeola (FALL.), Arocephalus languidus (FL.), Psammotettix sabulicola (Curt.) and Mocuellus metrius (Fl.).
