Vanduzea segmentata is a species of treehopper belonging to the genus Vanduzea. It was first described by the British entomologist William Weekes Fowler in 1895, as Hypamastris segmentata. [1]
Vanduzea segmentata is quite small, with males being 3–4 millimetres long and females being 4–5 millimetres long. [1] Their pronotum is low and rounded. Females are typically more green than males. Nymphs are brown-coloured. [2]
Vanduzea segmentata is found across the southern United States, Mexico, Central America, and northern South America. [3] It is also found in Hawaii. [4] This is most likely due to certain insects and plants helping spread the species' range. [2]
Due to its wide range, V. segmentata feeds on multiple types of trees and plants, such as:
- Albizia julibrissin
- Ambrosia artemisiifolia
- Bidens alba
- Datura stramonium
- Heterotheca subaxillaris
- Melilotus alba [2]
