Leafhopper
A leafhopper is the common name for any species from the family Cicadellidae. These minute insects, colloquially known as hoppers, are plant feeders that suck plant sap from grass, shrubs, or trees. Their hind legs are modified for jumping, and are covered with hairs that facilitate the spreading of a secretion over their bodies that acts as a water repellent and carrier of pheromones. They undergo a partial metamorphosis, and have various host associations, varying from very generalized to very specific. Some species have a cosmopolitan distribution, or occur throughout the temperate and tropical regions. Some are pests or vectors of plant viruses and phytoplasmas. The family is distributed all over the world, and constitutes the second-largest hemipteran family, with at least 20,000 described species. They belong to a lineage traditionally treated as infraorder Cicadomorpha in the suborder Auchenorrhyncha, but as the latter taxon is probably not monophyletic, many mod ...

Sharpshooter (insect)
The name sharpshooter is used to refer to any of various genera and species of large leafhoppers in the tribe Proconiini of the family leafhopper, Cicadellidae. As with all cicadellids, they have piercing-sucking mouthparts and closely spaced rows of fine spines on their hind legs. The nymphs feed by inserting their needle-like mouthparts into the xylem of the small stems on the plant where the eggs were deposited; the adults have wings and are highly mobile, and most feed on a variety of different plant species. Both nymphs and adults filter a huge volume of dilute liquid through their Digestion#Digestive system, digestive system to extract the trace nutrients, and much of the water and carbohydrates are squirted forcibly away from the body in a fine stream of droplets, thus earning them their common name. This group includes a few species which are plant pests, the most serious of which is ''Homalodisca vitripennis'' (the "Glassy-winged sharpshooter"). A microbial plant parasit ...

Cofana
''Cofana'' is a genus of leafhoppers belonging to the family Cicadellidae. ''Cofana'' species can be often found in grass habitats and in rice fields. Some species have been recorded on '' Dinochloa scandens'' (Poaceae). The genus ''Cofana'' is distinguished by their male genital morphology, with an aedeagus lacking paraphyses and basal processes. The hindwing lacks vein R2+3. Species in the genus are found in Africa, Asia, and Australia. Species Some species of this genus are: *'' Cofana albida'' Walker, 1851 *'' Cofana eburnea'' Walker, 1857 *'' Cofana fuscivenis'' Bergroth, 1894 *'' Cofana gelbata'' Young, 1986 *'' Cofana grisea'' Evans, 1955 *'' Cofana hoogstraali'' Young, 1979 *'' Cofana jedarfa'' Young, 1979 *'' Cofana karachiensis'' Ara & Ahmed, 1988 *'' Cofana karjatensis'' Ramakrishnan, 1985 *'' Cofana lata'' Young, 1979 *''Cofana lineatus'' Distant, 1908 *''Cofana maai'' Young, 1979 *'' Cofana medleri'' Young, 1979 *''Cofana nigrilinea'' Stål, 1870 *'' ...
