Two-lined Gum Leafhopper
Eurymeloides bicincta
-37.8571, 145.322
Field Notes
Description:
These small leafhoppers were all black with each wing showing one oblique and one transverse thin white line. The two hoppers featured here had some minor differences; the one in pics 1 & 2 did not have a white posterior pronotal margin and there were no other white spots on the wings. Pics 3, 4 & 5 are of another hopper on the same plant and this shows a clear white margin on the prothorax and a chevron marking across the inner margins of both wings.
These hoppers had a yellow underside (pic 6) and legs (up to femur) and orange brown eyes.
Habitat:
Spotted on a young eucalyptus tree in a reserve.
Notes:
Family: Cicadellidae
