Hamilton, K.G.A. and Cocroft, R.B. (2010) Establishing the identity of existing names in the North American Enchenopa binotata species complex of treehoppers (Hemiptera: Membracidae). Entomological News, 120(5): 534–565.

ABSTRACT: The Enchenopa binotata species complex, which is restricted to eastern North America, is separated from the western and Neotropical species by the proportions of the front and middle tibiae. Three of its species are identifiable by reference to adult characters, and three existing names are applied to two of these species.

Ball, E.D. (1933) Some new treehoppers from the southwest with notes on others. Proceedings of the Biological Society of Washington, 46: 25–32.

Treehoppers are as a rule strictly confined to a single host or to closely related species of plants. It is little wonder then that intensive collecting in the arid Southwest should bring to light a number of new species and that a number of these should represent genera, not previously known from the United States, while others represent new an
