Abstract
Various populations presumed to be potato leafhopper, Empoasca fabae ( Harris), were collected from various host plants and locations, and th en electrophoretically assayed for 12 enzyme loci. There was no eviden ce of genetic differentiation between populations. Small populations o f E. kraemeri, E. erigeron, and E. compare perlonga were assayed. E. k raemeri is a cryptic member of the fabae complex, and may occur togeth er with E. fabae. Diagnostic alleles were found to distinguish between E. fabae and the 3 other Empoasca species.
