Arthaldeus pascuellus

Length 3 to 4 mm. The Arthaldeus species are greenish-yellow leafhoppers. There are two British species, both of which have two short dark streaks at the tip of the vertex. In A. pascuellus, the dark area of the face has no longitudinal pale streak (unlike the closely related A. striifrons). The forewing cells are usually greenish but sometimes darker edged.

Can only be identified by examination of internal genital structure. 

Dry grasslands.

Adult: June to November.

Common and widespread in Britain though somewhat under recorded.

Fairly frequent in Leicestershire and Rutland.
