Abstract

The species of leafhopper described belongs to the obliqua group and the dorsal colour pattern consists of the usual oblique stripes of reddish pigment so typical of this group. The species most closely resembles E. aspera from which it can be distinguished by differences in the male genitalia. The preferred hosts are apparently Betula spp.
