Macrosteles horvathi Family: Cicadellidae Macrosteles is a large and very difficult genus, in which many species require dissection for definite identification. Most are pale yellowish, grass-living species with a number of black markings on the vertex. This species has variable but often distinctive markings. The uppermost markings of the face consist of a pair of dark streaks on each side, sometimes fused into single large spots. The remainder of the frontoclypeus has several pairs of dark lines, and sometimes a dark medial line. The dorsal colouring is light brownish to greenish-grey, sometimes with darker markings. There is frequently a dark patch present at the tip of the clavus. Locally common in marshy areas and wet grasslands. Adult: May to October Length 3-4.5 mm
