hi otherinsectforum,

I found this little cicade sp. underneath a leaf, in a forest.
Size about 2mm
plant: Symphytum
place: Amsterdam forest, The Netherlands

Is there anything to say about the species?

Agallia consobrina ?

Thank you very much for your suggestion Tony :)

I'll place it under Agallia consobrina, with that questionmark too

Idiocerinae excluded because of small size and narrow membrane of forewings, structure of supraantennal keel is hardly visible but Agalliinae seems OK; 2mm is a bit too small for A. consobrina, though, A. brachyptera is almost always brachypterous so I'd vote for some Anaceratagallia.
