• Scaphoideus productus

  Scaphoideus productus is a leafhopper species in the family Cicadellidae, first described by Osborn in 1900. It belongs to the subfamily Deltocephalinae and tribe Scaphoideini. The species has been documented from several U.S. states in the Midwest and Northeast, with iNaturalist records indicating relatively few observations (17). As a member of the genus Scaphoideus, it shares taxonomic affinities with the well-studied American grapevine leafhopper (S. titanus), though specific biological details for S. productus remain poorly documented in the scientific literature.
