Subfamily Tartessinae |
|
Subfamily Tartessinae |
|
| The Tartessinae are small to medium sized leafhoppers with a distinctly heart-shaped pronotum and the appendix usually extending around the apex of the tegmen. Although primarily Australia, the subfamily is well represented in New Guinea with sparse representation in Asian countries from the Philippines to India and in Micronesia. The Australian fauna was revised by Faith Evans (1981) who discussed some of the plant associations and provided a key to genera. Although there are some distinctively patterned species, most tartessines require an examination of the male genitalia to be identified (see METHODS for technique). |
