Family Cicadellidae, Eurymelinae, Eurymelini
- This page contains pictures and information about Green Gum-leafhoppers
that we found in the Brisbane area, Queensland, Australia.
-
 - Body length 10mm
-
- This Gum-leafhopper is relatively large in size.
Adults were black in
colour with two transverse white lines on wings. The front line is usually
broken into two part. The hind line is narrowly wedge-shaped. The pattern of
the two lines are highly variable.
-
-
-
- Head is black with orange-brown patterns. The
eyes are orange in colour. Pronotum is black with orange-brown stripe. Scutellum is black
with orange-brown V-shaped stripe.
-
 
 -
- The abdomen is pale green in colour. Hind legs have three large
spurs on one edge.
-
 -
  -
- End August 2009, we found this Gum-leafhopper on young gum trees in a
garden in Sinnamon Park. Where, at the same time, we also found the other
Gum-leafhopper species - The Common Jassid.
-
 -
- We also found the nymphs on the same host plants.
-
-
 -
- Pictures were taken in Karawatha Forest on Jun 2007. We found them once on a
smooth bark gumtree trunk. There were a few of them there.
-
  -
- We listed three Eurymeloides species in this Gum-leafhopper
page. However, they look very similar and we may have mixed up their
pictures.
-
 -
- They are quite common in Brisbane eucalypts forests.
