Limotettix elegans
Limotettix elegans is a leafhopper species in the family Cicadellidae, described by Hamilton in 1994. It belongs to the subgenus Dryola within the genus Limotettix, a group that evolved in New World peatland habitats. The genus originated from ancestors feeding on spike-rush (Eleocharis) in swales and fens, with later lineages adapting to ombrotrophic peatlands and eventually to drier habitats with ericaceous and semiwoody host plants. Specific ecological details for L. elegans itself remain limited in published literature.
