No image for this species.

Taxonomy Family: MEMBRACIDAE Subfamily: Membracinae Tribe: Membracini

Identification Online Photographs: BugGuide, GBIF  iNaturalist  Google                                                                                   Description: A dark, blackish-brown species with two distinctive yellowish marks down the back. The wings are mostly concolorous with the rest of the body, with rufous-tinted tips. Sexes can be distinguished from one another by the length of the horn- in females, the horn is noticeably long and prominent, while in males the horn is much smaller, sometimes nothing more than a little nub. Egg masses are whitish in color, resembling raised shells on a stem. See here for a nice depiction of the life cycle of nymphs of this genus.

Distribution in North Carolina County Map: Clicking on a county returns the records for the species in that county. Distribution: Eastern United States Abundance: Recorded from a couple counties in the mountains and Piedmont; likely more widespread and just under-reported. Seasonal Occurrence Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jun Jul Aug Sep Oct Nov Dec

Habitats and Life History Habitats: Woodlands Plant Associates: Hickory (Carya spp., e.g. Carya tomentosa, C. ovata) Behavior: Comment: Recent studies have shown that there are a number of undescribed species within the Enchenopa binotata species complex, with each undescribed species feeding on a specific, different host plant. These host plants include Cercis (redbud), Juglans (walnut), Viburnum, and Carya (hickory). Adults of the various species cannot be distinguished from one another, so it is imperative to record the host plant that Enchenopa individuals are found on. Some nymphs of this complex are distinctive enough to be identified to species: see here. Status: Native Global and State Rank:
