Homoptera of Ecuador

The Auchennorhyncha, or hoppers and cicadas (Cicadidae), of Yasuní National Park, Ecuador. Extremely diverse, and often bearing elaborate adornments and ornate patterns, these insects are among the jewels of the rainforest.
Most of the featured leafhoppers (Cicadellidae) belong to the Cicadellinae, a subfamily commonly known as the sharpshooters.
