Leafhopper is the common name for any species from the family Cicadellidae. These minute insects , colloquially known as hoppers , are plant feeders that suck plant sap from grass, shrubs, or trees.
Adult leafhoppers can mostly be encountered from July through October. [2] [3]These leafhoppers are polyphagous, feeding on the sap of various species of herbaceous plants, mainly Juncus effusus (Juncaceae sp.), Carex [4] and Scirpus sylvaticus (Cyperaceae sp.), Holcus mollis (Poaceae sp.), Galium palustre and Fabaceae species.
Erythroneura infuscata, commonly known as Leafhopper, [1] is a species of leafhopper in the family Cicadellidae. [2] [3] [4] [5]A dark, mostly black species that is distinctive in appearance from most other members of the family Typhlocybinae.
Issus coleoptratus can reach a length of 5.5–7.0 millimetres (0.22–0.28 in). The coloration of these planthoppers can vary from light brown and olive to nearly black. The head, including the eyes, is narrower than the pronotu
The adults reach 4.5–6.5 millimetres (0.18–0.26 in) of length. This leafhopper shows a distinctive mosaic-like pattern on the forewings and an orange band between the eyes. Orientus ishidae is associated with willow (Salix species), hornbeam (Carpinus betulus) and with many woody plants and deciduous trees.
Issus is a genus of planthoppers belonging to the family Issidae of infraorder Fulgoromorpha of suborder Auchenorrhyncha of order Hemiptera.Like most members of the order Hemiptera (popularly known as the "bug" or "true bugs" order) they live on phloem sap that they extract with their piercing, sucking mouth parts.
A model of a typical brochosome from leafhopper integument (on the right dissected to show the interior). [ 1 ] Brochosomes are intricately structured microscopic granules secreted by leafhoppers (the family Cicadellidae of the insect order Hemiptera ) and typically found on their body surface and, more rarely, eggs.
The Membracoidea share the following anatomical characteristics, a tentorium which is incomplete, the midcoxae are enlarged; and the mid and hind tibiae have rows of setae. The position of Jascopidae represented by Jascopus notabilis and Homopterulum jelli is not entirely clear but they have setal rows on the front and middle tibiae.
