“Cicadellidae (sharpshooters/leafhoppers) on citrus is documented (e.g., Xylella vectors like Homalodisca); leaf feeding is correct trophic role.”
- entomologist · plausible
“Sharpshooters = Cicadellidae subfamily Cicadellinae; family assignment correct; leaf xylem-feeding matches affected_part=leaf.”
