Cosmoscarta Decisa
Cosmoscarta is a genus of froghoppers found in the Indomalayan region. Many of the species are boldly marked in black and red or yellow. A few species are of economic importance as they can cause injury to plants under cultivation. Description The genus was erected by Carl Stål on the basis of a large frons extending almost to the eyes and lacking any longitudinal furrows or keels. The hind tibia has a strong spine at the mid position and sometimes a smaller spine near the base. The related genus '' Phymatostetha'' has a narrower pronotum with the posterior margin straighter or with a sinuate margin before the scutellum. ''Cosmoscarta dorsimacula'' is sometimes considered a pest on glutinous rice yam (''Dioscorea alata''). ''Cosmoscarta relata'' has been recorded in large numbers on jackfruit (''Artocarpus heterophyllus''). Species This genus includes: * ''Cosmoscarta abdominalis'' * '' Cosmoscarta aerata'' * '' Cosmoscarta affinis'' * ''Cosmoscarta amabilis'' * ''Cosmos ...
