Taparella sp.
Flatid planthoppers are cosmopolitan in distribution. Adults of some species are brightly colored and easily identified but others require the use of ID keys and dissection.
Spotted in a large semi-urban yard & garden situated next to a disturbed patch of remnant lowland forest. This is in the equatorial tropics of northern New Guinea.
Variously referred to as (Flatid) leafhoppers or planthoppers.
