Arboridia ribauti
Family: Cicadellidae

Both UK species of Arboridia have the same patterning, with two prominent spots on the vertex and four smaller and fainter marks at the front of the pronotum. The forewings have dark streaks running along the two long cells closest to the midline. The lower part of the face (anteclypeus) is blackish.

In A. ribauti is very similar to A. parvula but is arboreal and slightly larger. Found mainly on oak in southern Britain.
