Studies on morphological variations of Exitianus indicus (Distant, 1908)-(Hemiptera: Cicadellidae: Deltocephalinae, Chiasmini) from India

ABSTRACT The members of Cicadellidae are commonly known as leafhoppers and belongs to the order Hemiptera. In the present study the morphological variations of Extianus indicus (Distant, 1908) are studied which are collected from different areas of India.
