Aphrophoridae sp. indet.

<< Back to Cercopoidea overview

This unidentified species has been recorded only 3 times in Thailand to my knowledge, all within the greater Doi Suthep area and all in October. It has a very distinctive pronotum, and together with the two whitish apical spots should have been quite easy to identify.

A couple of specimens have been found in Pu'er, Yunnan, China, back in May 2018. Those specimens lack the white spots on the tegmina, but the pronotum is the same.

It seems to be a montane species, as all specimens have been found at an elevation of approximately 1400-1500m.
