| description |
Brownish in coloration with pale, whitish transverse bands; these bands are sometimes broken up, as in the case of the female. The tips of the wings have a blackish smudge and the legs are pale, yellowish in color. The front of the pronotum can be mottled in appearance. |
| distribution |
Primarily a midwestern species that is perhaps gradually expanding into the eastern United States; two recent eastern records, this one from NC and one from TN. |
| abundance |
One record, from the upper Piedmont. |
| seasonal_occurrence | |
| habitat |
Mixed hardwood forest |
| plant associates |
Has been recorded on Quercus bicolor; probably found on other oaks. |
| behavior |
To listen to the male courtship call for this genus, listen here. These courtship calls are not audible to the human ear, and the calls here are produced by recording the substrate vibrations that the treehoppers use to communicate through the plants themselves. The recorded call is then amplified so that it is now audible to human ears. Research has shown that treehoppers use vibrations to attract mates, to announce the discovery of a good feeding site, or to alert a defending mother to the approach of a predator (T.IM) . |

Can be attracted at night with a light. |

Comment: M. Rothschild: "I believe this might be a male Cyrtolobus gramatanus. It is primarily a midwestern species but I think it does get into western TN. I've collected it fairly extensively in AR, IL, IN, MO, and OH over the last few years." |  | Photo by: Ken Childs
