Biology:Recilia

From HandWiki

Recilia is a genus of typical leafhoppers from the family Cicadellidae, recorded mostly from Africa, the West Palaearctic and New Zealand.[1] As of Webb & Viraktamath (2009), the vast majority of former species, including the zig-zag leafhopper of rice R. dorsalis, are now placed in the genus Maiestas. Before this, the genus was sometimes treated as a subgenus of Deltocephalus, of the same tribe.[2][3][1][4]

Species

The World Auchenorrhyncha Database[2] includes:

  1. Recilia coronifer (Marshall, 1866)
  2. Recilia elongatoocellata (Motschulsky, 1859)
  3. Recilia indica Rao, 1989
  4. Recilia jenjouristi Zakhvatkin, 1935

Note: the zig-zag leafhopper of rice, known as R. dorsalis, is now Maiestas dorsalis (Motschulsky, 1859)
