Aline Andrey, det. Gernot Kunz .

Distribution in Europe: Austria, France, Hungary & Switzerland but also known from the surroundings of the Black Sea and Pannonian velds (Györffy 1982, Anufriev &Emeljanov 1988, Della Giustina &Remane 2001, Holzinger 2009).

Remarks:This brachypterous leafhopper is rarely found in Europe, therefore almost nothing is known about its biology (see Della Giustina &Remane 2001, Holzinger 2009).
