Euscelis incisus - Singles found at the meadows on 4 dates between 24th March and 6th May 2019 then another 2 on 22nd August. A probable nymph there on 25th March 2020 and an adult on 8th May.

Euscelis lineatus - A leafhopper found at the meadows on 20th July 2020 looked like this species but I lost it after taking photos. I'd have preferred to have been able to examine it properly and am not sure if the ID is safe based on the photos alone so unless/until someone tells me otherwise I won't be formally recording it. New to me if it is one.

Mocydiopsis attenuata - One came to light at the meadows on 22nd April 2019.

Lamprotettix nitidulus - Totals of 6 in my garden moth trap between 31st July and 14th October 2019 and 10 between 24th July and 29th October 2020 (including 3 on 31st July).

Cicadula frontalis - One in my garden moth trap on 7th August 2020 was my second record following one in 2018.

Cicadula persimilis/quadrinotata - None. A female of one or other of these species was found at the meadows in 2018.
Opsius stactogalus - None. I'm not sure where my nearest Tamarisk is but I caught one of these in my garden in 2018.
Grypotes puncticollis - None. Another one I caught here in 2018.
Macrosteles sexnotatus - Confirmed males in the garden moth trap on 30th and 31st July 2019 and another at the meadows on 3rd September. Also a likely female at the meadows on 7th July but apparently identification is not safe without reference to the male genitalia/sternal apodemes. Three in the garden moth trap between 30th July and 11th August 2020 were all unconfirmed females as was one at the meadows (on Imperforate St John's Wort in case that makes a difference) on 30th August. A confirmed male to light at Whitwell Street on 3rd September.
