White-marked Gum Hopper - Platybrachys leucostigma

Family Eurybrachyidae  

This page contains pictures and information about White-marked Gum Hoppers that we found in the Brisbane area, Queensland, Australia. 

Body length 20mm 

 

We sometimes found this Planthopper on different species of gum tree.   

 

 

 

The adult and nymph pictures are taken on the same gum tree trunk early summer. 

 

 

Last instars, body length10mm

 

 

 

This Planthopper was very hard to be noticed until it moved. It was hiding on a Stringy Bark Gum tree trunk. Photos was taken during mid summer in Karawatha Forest. 

 

 

 

This species is somewhat variable in colour.
