Hello!

Nice leafhopper from Hungary. Could anyone give me some indications about the genus or even species? The habitat was a dry slope of montane area bordering deciduous forest. It sat on a leaf of hornbeam (Carpinus betulus). Small sized, few mm long.

9th of May 2008.

Looks likePenthimia nigra which is a Cicadellid. Can be brown or black, and sometimes has a pair of red spots on the pronotum. Definitely a tree dweller.........likes Oak fror preference apparently,

Penthimia nigra for sure (saw a lot of them in Sochi in late April).
