The life histories of 2 bivoltine mesophyll-feeding leafhoppers, Lindbergina aurovittata (Douglas) and Edwardsiana rosae (L.), in South Wales, are described. L. aurovittata alternates between evergreen Rubus and Quercus in the 1st generation and various deciduous broad-leaved trees in the 2nd F2. Experiments on nymphal food preferences and adult oviposition behavior show that nymphs of both generations prefer older to younger leaves with little species specificity. Adults are discriminating in oviposition preferences, which change regularly and completely in alternating generations. Similar results were obtained with E. rosae. Obligate seasonal changes in host preferences and utilization are well known among aphids, but previously not reported in leafhoppers.
