Erythridula nondescripta
Erythridula nondescripta is a species of leafhopper in the family Cicadellidae, subfamily Typhlocybinae, described by Johnson in 1935. As a member of the tribe Erythroneurini, it belongs to a diverse group of small leafhoppers commonly referred to as 'microleafhoppers' due to their diminutive size, typically under 5 millimeters. The genus Erythridula contains multiple species that are frequently encountered in late autumn in temperate North America, often found on wooden fences and vegetation in residential and natural settings. Like other typhlocybines, this species feeds on plant sap using piercing-sucking mouthparts.
