Acericerus ribauti - A male to light at Row Heath (West Runton) on 31st August. Also a female that was either this species or Acericerus vittifrons in my garden moth trap on 29th September 2019 and 21st December 2020 - would be new for the garden either way. I didn't keep many notes on the first of the female but the second (my last leafhopper of 2020) was intriguing. The key I'm using is the old RES one which doesn't include ribauti, and it failed to key out using that which makes me suspect it might be the species not covered by the key. It seemed closest to vittifrons but the shape of the frontoclypeus was wrong for that species leading me to suspect it was ribauti. The length was 6.4mm. Are these identifiable?
