- This page contains pictures and information about Leafhoppers in Subfamily Tartessinae
that we found in the Brisbane area,
Queensland, Australia.
- The Tartessinae are small to medium sized
leafhoppers with a distinctly heart-shaped pronotum.

- Yellow Head Leafhopper
  - Brunotartessus fulvus, body length 8mm
- This four Leafhoppers were found on a large leaf near a pond in Wishart.
They just rest, may be feeding, on the leaf. A couple of hours later, we
came back and check the leaf, they were still there. The second picture
shows two nymphs, the picture was taken on late spring where we found adults and nymphs at the same tree. More information in this page.

- Brown Leafhopper
  - Alotartessus iambe, body length adult 15mm, nymph 10mm
- This Leafhopper is common on young tree stems in Brisbane Eucalyptus
forest. They are attended by different species of ants. The nymph was found on the same small tree.
We believe they are the same
species, although their body colour were quite different. More information please
visit this page.
