Guides
Scaphytopius cinereus
Scaphytopius cinereus is a leafhopper species in the family Cicadellidae, subfamily Deltocephalinae, described by Osborn and Ball in 1897. The genus Scaphytopius is part of the tribe Scaphytopiini and contains numerous North American species. As with other members of this genus, S. cinereus is likely associated with woody vegetation, though specific ecological details remain poorly documented in available sources.
Scaphytopius frontalis
Yellow-faced Leafhopper, Eastern Yellow-faced Leafhopper
Scaphytopius frontalis is a leafhopper species in the family Cicadellidae, commonly known as the yellow-faced leafhopper or eastern yellow-faced leafhopper. The species was first described by Van Duzee in 1890. It belongs to the large genus Scaphytopius, which contains numerous North American leafhopper species.
Scaphytopius loricatus
Scaphytopius loricatus is a leafhopper species in the family Cicadellidae, subfamily Deltocephalinae. It is one of approximately 100 species in the genus Scaphytopius, a group characterized by their wedge-shaped bodies and association with woody plants. The species was described by Van Duzee in 1894 and occurs in the southwestern United States and Cuba. Like other members of its genus, it likely feeds on plant sap using piercing-sucking mouthparts.
Scaphytopius nigricollis
Scaphytopius nigricollis is a species of leafhopper in the family Cicadellidae, first described by Ball in 1916. It belongs to the genus Scaphytopius, a group of small to medium-sized leafhoppers found primarily in North America. The species is documented from the southwestern United States and Baja California region. Like other members of its tribe Scaphytopiini, it is presumed to feed on plant phloem, though specific host associations remain poorly documented.
Scaphytopius nr-majestus
Scaphytopius nr-majestus is a leafhopper in the family Cicadellidae, tribe Scaphytopiini. The 'nr-' prefix indicates a near-reference designation, signifying that specimens closely resemble S. majestus but may not be conclusively identified to that species. Members of this genus are generally associated with woody plants and are known vectors of plant pathogens. Specific biological details for this near-reference taxon remain limited.
Scaphytopius triangularis
Scaphytopius triangularis is a leafhopper species in the family Cicadellidae, first described by DeLong in 1945. It belongs to the tribe Scaphytopiini, a group characterized by distinctive morphological features including enlarged heads. The species has been documented in multiple states across the southeastern and midwestern United States.
