Agallia
brachyptera Family: Cicadellidae A. brachyptera is the most distinctive species in this genus; the very short wings with dark streaks, and the markings on the face and pronotum are characteristic. A scarce and local leafhopper largely confined to the east of England. It has been found predominantly in dry sparsely vegetated habitats but has also been recorded from fens and marshes. There is some evidence that it prefers calcareous substrates, although its precise ecological requirements are uncertain. Adult: June to September Length 2.5-3.5 mm |
