| Native Hawaiian Leafhopper Id Resources | ||
| By Gordon Bennett |

| The identification resources below
represent preliminary keys useful in
identifiying native Hawaiian Nesophrosyne species (Cicadellidae:
Deltocephalinae). The goal of these materials is to provide efficient
identification materials for public use. The first key is a short guide
to parsing out the different Membracoidea families found on Hawaii. The
second key is useful in identifying the commonly found species in Bird
Park, Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, Hawaii. The third key is a model
for systematic descriptions of Nesophrosyne species. Follow the links
to preview rerdiescriptions of some of the type specimens from thew
Bishop Museum, Honolulu, Hawaii. Links: Key to Nesophrosyne from Kipuka Puaulu, Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, Hawaii. Key to families Nesophrosyne descriptions |
 Figure: A-D: Nesophrosyne caelicola, and E: N. insularis. A & B represent a dorsal and ventral habitus images. C-E internal gen-italia structures (C & E, ventral; D lateral): Con, connective; Sty, style; Aed, adeagus. C & E demonstrate structural differences in the style of the male genitalia useful in delineating species. |
