subfamily
Ledrinae that we found in the Brisbane area,
Queensland, Australia.

- Species in subfamily
Ledrinae are relatively large. They are usually brown or green in
colours. Most of them have a front-extended flat head. Their larvae are very
flattened. They can be found on tree trunk or on leave of Eucalyptus.
- Green Flat-headed Leafhopper

- Pictures were taken in Karawatha Forest on Dec 2010. From the shape
of its head we believe this leafhopper nymph is in this
subfamily
Ledrinae. Please check this page for more
information.
