PLANTHOPPERS (DELPHACIDAE)
Asiraca clavicornis - None. I found this species at the meadows in April 2021.
Stenocranus major - One of 3 similar hoppers at the meadows on 27th March 2019 was retained and proved to be this species. More were found in the same area of Reed Canary-grass on 2nd May and 16th September 2020 (and in 2021).

Stenocranus minutus - None. I found this species at the meadows in 2018.
Eurysa lineata - One at the meadows on 20th June 2020 was my first record of this species.

Javesella pellucida - A total of 4 Javesella planthoppers found in my garden moth trap between 17th July and 1st August 2019 and 4 again between 31st July and 10th August 2020. Also 3 at the meadows between 24th April and 8th May 2020. Most were females, which I understand are not reliably identified to species level but there were single confirmed male pellucida here in each year and one at the meadows. There was another male here in 2019, but it had been parasitised by a Stylops and although the genital capsule was present (and resembled this species) it was empty, i.e. no aedeagus etc. I can only presume that these parts had either been eaten by the Stylops or else they had not developed properly as a result of the Stylops being there.
