Guides
Athysanella
Athysanella is a genus of leafhoppers in the tribe Chiasmini, family Cicadellidae. The genus is monophyletic and distinguished from the related genus Icaia by several derived characters of the male genitalia. Most species are found in the New World. The genus contains subgenera including Athysanella (Athysanella) and Athysanella (Amphipyga), with subgenus A. (Diphipyga) restricted to three species retaining plesiomorphic genitalia characters.
Athysanella globosa
Athysanella globosa is a species of leafhopper in the family Cicadellidae, subfamily Deltocephalinae, described by Ball and Beamer in 1940. The specific epithet "globosa" refers to its rounded or globular body shape, a characteristic that distinguishes it within the genus. It belongs to the tribe Chiasmini, a group of leafhoppers often associated with grasses and herbaceous vegetation.
Doratura
Doratura is a genus of leafhoppers (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae) in the tribe Chiasmini, distributed across the Palearctic and Nearctic realms. The genus contains 23 valid species following recent taxonomic revision, including four species described in 2021–2022. Species exhibit wing reduction polymorphism (brachyptery) as a dispersal strategy. The genus has been subject to detailed taxonomic study focusing on genital morphology, species group relationships, and distribution patterns.
Driotura gammaroides
Driotura gammaroides is a species of leafhopper in the family Cicadellidae, tribe Chiasmini. It was originally described as Athysanus gammaroides by Van Duzee in 1894 and later transferred to the genus Driotura. The species is documented from multiple states in the eastern and central United States. Like other members of its family, it is a phloem-feeding insect associated with vascular plants.
Driotura robusta
Driotura robusta is a species of leafhopper in the family Cicadellidae, tribe Chiasmini, described by Osborn and Ball in 1898. It is a member of the subfamily Deltocephalinae, one of the largest and most diverse groups of leafhoppers. The species has been documented from multiple states in the central and eastern United States.
Driotura vittata
Driotura vittata is a species of leafhopper in the family Cicadellidae, first described by Ball in 1903. It belongs to the tribe Chiasmini within the subfamily Deltocephalinae. The species is native to the southwestern United States and has been recorded from Arizona, Colorado, Kansas, New Mexico, and Texas.
Exitianus exitiosus
Gray Lawn Leafhopper
Exitianus exitiosus, commonly known as the gray lawn leafhopper, is a species of leafhopper in the family Cicadellidae. The species was first described by Uhler in 1880. Two subspecies are recognized: E. e. angustatus and E. e. pallidens, both described by DeLong & Hershberger in 1947. The species has been documented in laboratory studies examining its life history characteristics.
Exitianus picatus
Exitianus picatus is a species of leafhopper in the family Cicadellidae, subfamily Deltocephalinae, and tribe Chiasmini. It was described by Gibson in 1919. The species is known from the southwestern United States and parts of Mexico and Central America. Like other members of Exitianus, it is likely associated with grassland and agricultural habitats.
Phlepsanus n-sp-ut
Phlepsanus n-sp-ut is an undescribed species in the leafhopper genus Phlepsanus (family Cicadellidae, tribe Chiasmini). The 'n-sp-ut' designation indicates it is a new species from Utah, currently known from specimen records but not yet formally described in scientific literature. Species in this genus are typically associated with grassland and sagebrush habitats.
