Edwardsiana geometrica Family: Cicadellidae Perhaps the most difficult of all leafhopper genera, with 21 UK species, of which only two are easily identified; the other 19 cannot be identified based on external features alone. E. geometrica is one of the few that can be distinguished without microscopy. A very strikingly-marked species, and the dark stripe along the corial-claval suture is diagnostic. The ground colour varies from whitish to yellow.        Widespread but not normally common, on alder; perhaps absent from the extreme north. Adult: June-October Length ~4 mm
