• Alebra bicincta

  Alebra bicincta is a species of leafhopper in the family Cicadellidae, first described by DeLong in 1918. It belongs to the subfamily Typhlocybinae, a group of small leafhoppers often associated with woody plants. The specific epithet "bicincta" (meaning "two-banded") likely refers to a color pattern feature, though detailed morphological descriptions remain limited in accessible literature. The species is recorded from several U.S. states but appears to be relatively poorly known compared to other Alebra species.
