Oligosita sp. Figure 6a

Material examined.

Japan, Honshu Island, Shimane Prefecture, Izumo, Taisha, 35°21'21"N, 132°41'22"E, 3 m, 5.x.2019, N. Kado, N. Sawamura, T. Adachi-Hagimori, S. V. Triapitsyn (sweeping upon leaves of non-organic Delaware table grapes infested with A. apicalis in a covered Watanabe vineyard) [1 ♀, UCRC].

Distribution.

Palaearctic region: Japan (Honshu Island).

Host.

Cicadellidae: Arboridia (Arboridia) apicalis (Nawa). This tentative host association will need to be confirmed by experimental work using sentinel eggs of this leafhopper.

Remarks.

Because taxonomy of the genus Oligosita Walker is in flux and no working keys are available, we could not positively identify this specimen to the species. Its body color is more or less light brown except dorsum of mesosoma is mostly yellow (Fig. 6a).
