Scleroracus
Guides
Limotettix brooksi
A Nearctic leafhopper described in 1994 and placed in the subgenus Scleroracus. It belongs to a genus that evolved in New World peatlands from ancestors associated with spike-rush habitats. Like other members of its subgenus, it likely inhabits ombrotrophic peatlands and has been associated with ericaceous plant zones that enabled subsequent colonization of drier habitats.
Limotettix medleri
Limotettix medleri is a Nearctic leafhopper species described in 1994 as part of a revision of the genus Limotettix. It was originally placed in the subgenus Scleroracus, a group associated with peatland habitats. The species is currently synonymized under Scleroracus medleri. Like other members of its genus, it likely inhabits ombrotrophic peatlands and feeds on sedges or rushes, though species-specific ecological data are not documented.
Limotettix obesura
Leafhopper described in 1994 as part of a revision of the genus Limotettix, placed in subgenus Scleroracus. The species belongs to a lineage of Limotettix that evolved in peatland habitats from ancestors feeding on spike-rush. Its placement in subgenus Scleroracus suggests association with sedges or rushes in ombrotrophic peatland environments.
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.
