Empoa is a genus of leafhoppers in the family Cicadellidae, established by Fitch in 1851 and currently treated as a subgenus of Typhlocyba Germar, 1833. The genus was synonymized with Empoides Vilbaste, 1968, with nine new combinations resulting from this taxonomic revision. Empoa species are part of the Typhlocybinae subfamily, characterized by their small size and plant-feeding habits. The gillettei complex within Empoa comprises 14 Nearctic species that share identical male genitalia, requiring host association data and coloration patterns for species-level identification.
Empoa albicans
Empoa albicans is a species of leafhopper in the family Cicadellidae, first described by Walsh in 1862. It belongs to the subfamily Typhlocybinae, a group of small, often economically significant leafhoppers. The species has been recorded from several states in the eastern and midwestern United States including Illinois, Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, and Mississippi. Like other members of the genus Empoa, it is likely associated with herbaceous vegetation, though specific host plant records and detailed biological information remain limited in the available literature.
Empoa apicata
Empoa apicata is a species of leafhopper in the family Cicadellidae, subfamily Typhlocybinae. The species was described by McAtee in 1926. Like other members of the genus Empoa, it is a small plant-feeding insect. The genus Empoa is part of the tribe Typhlocybini, which includes many economically important leafhopper species. Empoa apicata has been recorded from several central and eastern U.S. states including Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, and the District of Columbia.
Empoa aureotecta
Empoa aureotecta is a leafhopper species in the family Cicadellidae, subfamily Typhlocybinae, described by Sanders and DeLong in 1917. The genus Empoa belongs to the tribe Empoascini, a group of small, often greenish leafhoppers that feed on plant sap. Members of this genus and related taxa are known for producing brochosomes—nanoparticle coatings that make their bodies superhydrophobic and anti-reflective. The specific epithet "aureotecta" (from Latin aureus "golden" + tectus "covered") likely refers to a golden or yellowish coloration or covering characteristic of this species.
Empoa bella
Empoa bella is a leafhopper species in the family Cicadellidae, first described by Hamilton in 1983. The genus Empoa belongs to a group of leafhoppers known for producing brochosomes—nanoparticle coatings that make their exoskeletons superhydrophobic and anti-reflective. Records indicate this species occurs in the Canadian Maritime provinces of New Brunswick and Nova Scotia. As with other Empoasca-related leafhoppers, it likely shares the characteristic brochosome-producing morphology, though species-specific biological details remain poorly documented.
Empoa casta
Empoa casta is a leafhopper species in the family Cicadellidae, first described by McAtee in 1926. It belongs to the subfamily Typhlocybinae, a diverse group of small leafhoppers often associated with woody plants. The species is known from scattered records across the eastern and southwestern United States. Like other members of its genus, it produces brochosomes—nanoparticle secretions that coat the body surface.
Empoa gillettei
Empoa gillettei is a Nearctic leafhopper species in the family Cicadellidae, originally described by Van Duzee in 1917. It belongs to the gillettei complex—a group of 14 Nearctic species within Typhlocyba subgenus Empoa that share identical male genitalia. Two nominal species, Empoa acericola and E. caryata (both Christian, 1953), have been synonymized with E. gillettei based on color variation. The species is documented from multiple localities across western and northern North America.
Empoa latifasciata
Empoa latifasciata is a leafhopper species in the family Cicadellidae, first described by Christian in 1953. Like other members of the genus Empoa, it belongs to the subfamily Typhlocybinae, a group of small plant-feeding insects commonly known as leafhoppers. The species has been recorded from multiple localities in North America including British Columbia, Maine, New Brunswick, New Hampshire, and New Mexico. As with related Empoa species, E. latifasciata likely produces brochosomes—nanoparticles that coat the body surface and provide water-repellent and anti-reflective properties—though this has not been specifically documented for this species.
Empoa n-species
Empoa n-species is a leafhopper species in the family Cicadellidae, tribe Empoascini. The genus Empoa belongs to the subfamily Typhlocybinae, a group of small, often brightly colored leafhoppers commonly known as typhlocybine leafhoppers. Members of this genus are plant-feeding insects that use piercing-sucking mouthparts to extract sap from host plants. The specific epithet "n-species" suggests this may be an undescribed or placeholder designation in taxonomic literature.
Empoa platana
Empoa platana is a species of leafhopper in the family Cicadellidae, described by Christian in 1953. It belongs to the genus Empoa within the subfamily Typhlocybinae. The species has been recorded from Kentucky, Ohio, and Pennsylvania in the eastern United States. Like other members of the genus Empoa, it is likely a plant-feeding insect, though specific host plant associations and ecological details remain poorly documented in the available literature.
Empoa querci
Empoa querci is a species of leafhopper in the family Cicadellidae, first described by Fitch in 1851. As a member of the subfamily Typhlocybinae, it is a plant-feeding insect with piercing-sucking mouthparts. The species name 'querci' suggests an association with oak (Quercus) species. Like other leafhoppers in the genus Empoa, it likely produces brochosomes—nanoparticles that provide water-repellent and anti-reflective properties to its cuticle.
