Limotettix brooksi
A Nearctic leafhopper described in 1994 and placed in the subgenus Scleroracus. It belongs to a genus that evolved in New World peatlands from ancestors associated with spike-rush habitats. Like other members of its subgenus, it likely inhabits ombrotrophic peatlands and has been associated with ericaceous plant zones that enabled subsequent colonization of drier habitats.
Limotettix obesura
Leafhopper described in 1994 as part of a revision of the genus Limotettix, placed in subgenus Scleroracus. The species belongs to a lineage of Limotettix that evolved in peatland habitats from ancestors feeding on spike-rush. Its placement in subgenus Scleroracus suggests association with sedges or rushes in ombrotrophic peatland environments.
