Kathleenum cornutum utahnum
Kathleenum cornutum utahnum is a subspecies of planthopper in the family Issidae, originally described by Ball in 1935. It belongs to a group of small, often cryptic insects commonly known as issid planthoppers or twig hoppers. The subspecies epithet 'utahnum' indicates a geographic association with Utah, distinguishing it from the nominate subspecies. Like other issids, it likely inhabits grassland or shrubland environments where it feeds on plant phloem sap.
