| Cicadula
cf.
persimilis Family: Cicadellidae Cicadula is a difficult genus to identify, and microscopic features must be used to separate some species. In this case, the combination of large black spots on the vertex and dark markings on the scutellum narrow the possibilities to C. persimilis and C. quadrinotata. However, C. persimilis is much more likely to have dark streaks in the cells of the forewing. The host plants are sedges, usually in marshy areas, but occasionally in drier grasslands. It is locally common in Great Britain. Adult: June to October Length 4-5 mm |
