Homalodisca liturata, also known as the smoketree sharpshooter or the lacertate sharpshooter, [1] is a species of leafhopper native to North America. [2] The smoketree sharpshooter uses a number of host species but prefers desert smoketree ( Psorothamnus spinosus) where available. [3] This is a comparatively large leafhopper at approximately 13 millimeters long. [3] It, like other species in its genus, is a known vector of Xylella fastidiosa. Acoustic signaling is known to occur in both male and female smoketree sharpshooters. [4]
