Rubria (leafhopper)
Genus of Australian leafhoppers
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Rubria is a genus of leafhoppers in the family Cicadellidae, the species of which are found mostly in Australia.[1] Swedish entomologist Carl Stål described the group as a subgenus of the genus Petalocephala, but later raised it to a genus in its own right in 1966 by J.W. Evans. The genus is a distinct lineage within the family and is placed in its own tribe Rubrini.[2]
