Eurysa lineata

Unknown

Overview

A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.

Eurysa lineata faces significant pressure from agricultural intensification and habitat conversion throughout its European range. The species' dependence on specific grassland plant communities makes it particularly vulnerable to changes in land management practices, including increased pesticide use and altered mowing regimes. Climate change poses an additional threat by shifting the distribution of its host plants and altering the timing of critical life cycle events.

Threat summary

Habitat

This leafhopper species inhabits semi-natural grasslands, meadows, and pastures across central and eastern Europe. It shows a strong preference for diverse grassland communities with specific host plants, particularly favoring areas with traditional extensive management practices.
