Re: Species not in lists
Hi
I have two apparently introduced species which have turned up from lists I am importing, that I can't find in the dictionaries:
Brunotartessus fulvus (Walker), F.Evans 1981: 130 - Yellow-headed leafhopper, originally from Australia where it feeds on Eucalyptus
Aphrophora gelida (Walker) - Boreal spittlebug, Canadian, on goldenrod
There doesn't seem to be a preferred list for Homoptera, as far as the updates I have installed, which I assume might explain their absence.
If anyone knows any more about the likelihood of these species being found on the South Downs it would be useful to know.
Thanks
