Euscelis lineolatus Family: Cicadellidae In this genus the forewings are sprinkled with dark dots. The similar but rarer Euscelidius has larger ocelli, which are closer to the eye (nearer than their own diameter). Very similar to E. incisus; reliable separation of males is best achieved from the genitalia. Females can sometimes be distinguished by the pattern of dark stripes on the upperside of the apical abdominal segments (enitrely dark in E. incisus). A local species found on grasses across parts southern England and Wales. Adult: August to December Length 4 mm
