| Eurhadina
loewii Family: Cicadellidae Leafhoppers in this genus have a characteristically rather flattened appearance, especially as nymphs. The forewings are wider across the middle than at the tip, the head is markedly narrower than the pronotum and the vertex lacks black markings. The exact pattern of dark markings on the wing veins separates three of the five UK species. E. loewii is variable in colour, but often shows a striking dark arc on the forewing. If this is absent, it closely resembles E. concinna and E. ribauti but can be tentatively identified by the lack of any dark marking on the external apical vein, and confirmed by the genitalia of males and relatively larger size of females (>4.2 mm). E. loewii is widespread across much of England and South Wales, on Sycamore and (less often) Field Maple. Adult: June-September Length 4.0-4.7 mm |
