Euscelis lineolatus
Family: Cicadellidae

 A local species of deltocephaline found on grasses across parts southern England and Wales.

This is a very difficult genus, partly because of seasonal variation within an individual. In this case, note that the darker patches on the pronotum form longitudinal streaks, and that on the abdomen there are also longitudinal dark lines near to the end (central on terminal segment, central and lateral on sub-terminal; just visible here).


Adult: August to December
Length 4 mm
