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.
Limotettix scudderi
Limotettix scudderi is a leafhopper species described by Hamilton in 1994, originally placed in the subgenus Scleroracus of the genus Limotettix. The species is part of an evolutionary radiation of Limotettix in peatland habitats, representing a lineage that adapted from ancestral wetland plants to colonize drier environments. It is currently recognized as a synonym of Scleroracus scudderi. Distribution records indicate occurrence in Yukon Territory.
Limotettix strictus
Limotettix strictus is a leafhopper species described by Hamilton in 1994. It is currently treated as a synonym of Scleroracus strictus. The species has been recorded from Colorado. As a member of the tribe Limotettigini, it belongs to a group of leafhoppers associated with wetland and riparian habitats.
Limotettix xanthus
Limotettix xanthus is a leafhopper species in the family Cicadellidae, originally described as Ophiolix xanthus by Hamilton in 1994 and later transferred to Limotettix. It belongs to the tribe Limotettigini within the subfamily Deltocephalinae. The species is known from British Columbia, Canada.
