| Pyrops connectens (Atkinson, 1885)[1] | |
Pyrops connectens is a species of planthoppers from the Fulgoridae family.[2]
The species is most similar to Pyrops spinolae in colour, but the shape of the cephalic process and the pattern and the size of the spots on the tegmen. The size of the spots on the tegmina will also distinguish it from series with same or similar shape of cephalic process, like Pyrops coelestinus. The base of the hindwing are white or pale blue with 4-5 concolorous spots outside of the patch.[3]
