comments Pentastirini is an extremely challenging tribe to identify to species level for most species, with most taxa somewhat resembling one another; it is one of the most difficult planthopper groups in our region to identify. At this point in time, an identification cannot be determined for most species without a specimen collected and dissected. This page represents individuals of this tribe that fall into this category.
