Extract

The genus Gnathodus, as at present accepted, includes forms closely allied to Cicadula, but differing in having only two apical cells in the wing. They are of a weaker build than species of Cicadula, and a characteristic appearance from above makes them readily distinguishable from any of that genus. The species are very variable and difficult to define. They are small, more or less slender, greenish, yellowish, or whitish Jassids, usually without distinct markings. The ocelli are distant from the eyes. The clypeus usually somewhat exceeds the genæ. The ovipositor rarely exceeds the pygofers. In the United States at least, most of the species are of very wide distribution.
