Second of its kind 'sharpshooter' leafhopper from Brazil 'strikes' with its coloration

Several years later, however, fieldwork in a mountainous area in the region ended up with the description of the second known case of a bromelicolous leafhopper. Thanks to its striking coloration, the new sharpshooter appeared even more spectacular.
