Osbornellus unidentified species - No Common Name     CICADELLIDAE Members: NC Records Public View
No image for this species.
synonym
description There are several Osbornellus species that occur in the eastern United States that are visually very similar in both color and pattern. These three species are: auronitens, limosus, and rotundus. The only way to distinguish between these species is with a view of the underside (easy to distinguish with a female, harder with a male). Female pregential sternites vary among the three species, with auronitens having a noticeably deep notch, limosus having a moderate/shallow notch, and rotundus having no notch at all. For a species identification to be possible, a view of the underside is required. This page will act as a home for all Osbornellus records that cannot be identified to species based on visual details alone.

Comment: matches O. limosus pics on bugguide pretty well, though O. auronitens is supposed to be similar; this also matches very well my other Osbornellus limosus pictures. Mixed hardwood forest habitat		Photo by: Kyle Kittelberger

Comment: mixed hardwood forest habitat; determined to be this species as the head width is smaller than the distance between the eyes, a 2:3 ratio
