Other notes
This 8mm long brown hopper is the Stirellus sp. (Stenometopiini) of the Ashmoles, it is currently being investigated by Mike Wilson of the National Museums of Wales; it is found widely on Wild Mango (Schinus terebinthifolius). The species on St Helena has been ascribed both to Stenometopiini and to 'Selenocephalinae' (error - should be tribe Selenocephalini) and I have not been able to resolve this (RSK)
