Cicadulina species
Caution
Many of the insects depicted on these pages are outwardly similar and you should not use photographs as the sole means of identification. These pages form part of a scientific key which will assist a trained entomologist to identify the species accurately.
Cicadulina species
There are two species of Cicadulina recorded from Australia that are very similar in external appearance. They can be reliably differentiated only by examination of the male genitalia, particularly the structure of the pygofer process, although their distributions in Australia are distinct (Kitching et al. 1973).
The South African Maize leafhopper, Cicadulina mbila (Naudé), is of biosecurity concern to Australia.
