Kyboasca bipunctata Family: Cicadellidae A single species that is closely related to Empoasca and the very rare Austroasca. Kyboasca closely resembles the Empoasca species in general colouring, but has a distinctive dark spot in the apex of the cubital cell. The pronotum is also normally somewhat more marbled with white, and the species is somewhat larger. A very scarce (Notable A) species recorded only from south-east  England. The host plant is English Elm (Ulmus procera; also Ulmus minor in continental Europe), where it is found principally on the regrowth shoots near the base of the tree. Adult: July-August, at least Length 3.5-4 mm
