Macropsini

Guides

  • Macropsis basalis

    Macropsis basalis is a leafhopper species in the family Cicadellidae, first described by Van Duzee in 1889. It belongs to the subfamily Eurymelinae and tribe Macropsini. The species has been recorded from western and northeastern North America, with distribution records spanning from California to Connecticut.

  • Macropsis cinerea

    Macropsis cinerea is a species of leafhopper in the family Cicadellidae, described by Breakey in 1932. It is classified within the subfamily Eurymelinae and tribe Macropsini. The species has been recorded from limited localities in North America, with distribution records spanning parts of Canada and the northeastern United States. Available information about its biology and ecology remains sparse.

  • Macropsis graminea

    Macropsis graminea is a leafhopper species in the family Cicadellidae, first described by Fabricius in 1798. It belongs to the subfamily Eurymelinae and tribe Macropsini, a group associated with grasses and sedges. The species has been recorded across a broad geographic range spanning Eurasia and North America.

  • Macropsis mendax

    Macropsis mendax is a species of leafhopper in the family Cicadellidae, subfamily Eurymelinae. It belongs to the tribe Macropsini, a group of leafhoppers often associated with woody host plants. The species was described by Fieber in 1868. Records indicate occurrence in California, District of Columbia, England, and parts of Russia (Lipetsk, Moskovsskaya).

  • Macropsis ocellata

    Macropsis ocellata is a species of leafhopper in the family Cicadellidae, described by Provancher in 1872. It belongs to the subfamily Eurymelinae and tribe Macropsini. The species has been recorded from scattered localities including Florida, the District of Columbia, Corsica, and parts of Central Asia (Astrakhan, Ferghana), suggesting a wide but patchy distribution. As with other Macropsis species, it is likely associated with woody host plants, though specific ecological details remain poorly documented.

  • Oncopsis aureostria

    Oncopsis aureostria is a leafhopper species in the family Cicadellidae, described by Hamilton in 1983. It belongs to the tribe Macropsini within the subfamily Eurymelinae. The species is known from very few iNaturalist observations, indicating it is either rare, poorly documented, or has a restricted distribution. Like other members of the genus Oncopsis, it is likely associated with woody host plants.

  • Oncopsis cinctifrons

    Oncopsis cinctifrons is a leafhopper species in the family Cicadellidae, tribe Macropsini. It occurs in boreal and subarctic regions of North America, with records from Alaska across Canada to Ontario. The species was described by Provancher in 1889. Like other Oncopsis species, it is associated with woody host plants.

  • Oncopsis citra

    Oncopsis citra is a species of leafhopper in the family Cicadellidae, subfamily Eurymelinae, described by Hamilton in 1983. It belongs to the tribe Macropsini, a group of leafhoppers often associated with woody host plants. The species is recorded from northeastern North America.

  • Oncopsis nigrinasi

    Oncopsis nigrinasi is a species of leafhopper in the family Cicadellidae, subfamily Eurymelinae, and tribe Macropsini. It was described by Fitch in 1851. The species belongs to a genus known for association with birch and alder trees, though specific biological details for this species remain limited in the literature. It is part of the diverse Nearctic leafhopper fauna.

  • Oncopsis prairiana

    Oncopsis prairiana is a leafhopper species described by Hamilton in 1983. It is currently treated as a synonym of Oncopsis minor. The species has been recorded from prairie and grassland regions of North America, with distribution records from the northern United States and southern Canada. Very few observations exist, with only 2 records on iNaturalist.

  • Oncopsis quebecensis

    Oncopsis quebecensis is a leafhopper species in the family Cicadellidae, described by Hamilton in 1983. It belongs to the tribe Macropsini within the subfamily Eurymelinae. The species has been documented from Newfoundland and Labrador and Nova Scotia in eastern Canada. As a member of the genus Oncopsis, it is part of a group of leafhoppers associated with woody host plants.

  • Pediopsis

    Pediopsis is a genus of leafhoppers in the family Cicadellidae, tribe Macropsini. The genus contains 19 described species with a nearly cosmopolitan distribution spanning the Palaearctic, Oriental, Nearctic, and Australian regions. Members are characterized by distinctive morphological features including a head across eyes narrower than the pronotum, a face wider than long, relatively large lora, and a frontally declivous pronotum with strongly oblique striations. Male genitalia lack pygofer spines or processes, and the dorsal connective is usually strongly developed.

  • Reticopsis

    Reticopsis is a genus of leafhoppers in the family Cicadellidae, subfamily Eurymelinae, and tribe Macropsini. It was established by Hamilton in 1980. The genus is placed among the Australian eurymeline leafhoppers, a group known for often exhibiting host-plant associations with Myrtaceae. As a relatively small and understudied genus with limited observation records, detailed biological information remains sparse.

  • Reticopsis nubila

    Reticopsis nubila is a leafhopper species in the family Cicadellidae, subfamily Eurymelinae, described by Van Duzee in 1890. The genus Reticopsis belongs to the tribe Macropsini, a group of leafhoppers characterized by their association with woody plants. Records indicate this species occurs in California. As with many Macropsini, adults likely feed on plant phloem sap using piercing-sucking mouthparts.
