Neophilaenus exclamationis Family: Aphrophoridae Neophilaenus can be separated from Philaenus by the straight costal margin in the basal two-thirds of the forewing; there are several UK species. N. exclamationis is easily recognised by the costal markings, which consist of a pale line along the anterior two-thirds, and a pale spot towards the apex. The rest of the dorsal surface is primarily a dull chestnut-brown, often with a dark streak towards the apex of the inner wing margins.  Locally common on grasses, often on calcareous or gritstone hillsides, across Britain.         Adult: June to October Length 4-5 mm
