[3] [6] [11] Male signal frequency is more heritable than female preference for certain frequencies. This means that there is more selection pressure on male signal frequency than female preference. Female choice might actually be the selection pressure that drove the divergence of male signal frequency in the E. binotata species complex. [3]
In the last 10 years, there has been evidence to support the monophyletic interpretation, and the most recent research indicates the Auchenorrhyncha are in fact a monophyletic lineage. [3] A classification of the Auchenorrhyncha is: [4] Infraorder Cicadomorpha (Clypeorrhyncha, Clypeata) Superfamily Cercopoidea (spittlebugs, froghoppers ...

Enchenopa binotata is a species complex made up of multiple species, often identified by their host plants. [1]
Telamona ampelopsidis, like all treehoppers, feeds on the sap from under leaves. However, T. ampelopsidis exclusively feeds on the Virginia creeper (Parthenocissus quinquefolia). The Virginia creeper was once placed in the genus Ampelopsis at the time that Thaddeus William Harris described the species in 1841, hence the species epithet ...
