Cicadula (Henriana) placida (Horváth, 1897)

Cicadula Zetterstedt, 1840 is a speciose and difficult genus. This species differs from the closely related Cicadula (Henriana) frontalis (Herrich-Schäffer, 1835) by the shorter antennae and the appendages of the aedeagus are inserted close to the base of the shaft and stay close to it over their entire length ( Fig. 11 ) (RIBAUT, 1952). On Phalaris arundinacea L. in marshy locations near river borders (RIBAUT, 1952). VI-XI ( GUGLIELMINA et al., 2017).

MATERIAL EXAMINED: Villers-sur-Lesse, Outre Lesse (50.151, 5.128), 16.IX.2018. Dryodurgades antoniae (Melichar, 1907)

The dark clavus, the broad dark stripes on the pronotum and the face markings, with a longitudinal stripe that is usually connected with the ocellar spot, should make this species unmistakeable (Fig. 12). On Cytisus scoparius (L.) Link in clearings, fallows and forest edges. VIII-XI.
