Bunch of hoppers (Auchenorrhyncha)

[Gerel]

All from today, help with ID/confirmations appreciated.

1. Easy one first but one of my favourites so I had to enclude it - Cercopis vulnerata



2. A Delphacid planthopper, possibly Dicranotropis hamata?



3. I thought this one found on oak could be Thamnotettix confinis but I am not sure, especially about the pale patch on the edge of the wing.



4. Three lacehoppers, I don't really know what to look for with these.



5. Finally an unknown leafhopper.

Hi Steve,
Spot on with the first three (the waxy spot on the Thamnotettix is common to leafhoppers generally, but sometimes more prominent than in others). The lacehopper is Tachycixius pilosus (hind margon of wing: dark spots between veins as well as on them). The final one is tricky, but I wonder if it is a poorly marked Grypotes puncticollis. What did you find it on?

Thanks for the comments Joe,

I was unsure about the Thamnottetix because they were all over the place, not just on trees but on lots of low herbaceous plants. (also I always use your site for ID help and the pics there don't seem to show the pale area )

Cheers for the pointers on the lacehoppers, sometimes it's hard to know what to look for, especially when the obvious (forewing) markings are so variable.

Re. the last leafhopper, I can't help much as it was sat on a piece of dead wood. The surrounding vegetation was meadow/riverbank, diverse ground flora with mixed broadleaf overstorey. No Pinus in the immediate area though but there is a spruce plantation a few hundred metres away.

If it was the right size, I would say the final photo could also be T. confinis going on body shape and proportions, although the colouration on the vertex and pronotum is rather abnormal
