Bythopsyrna circulata is a species of Asian planthoppers belonging to the family Flatidae.
Bythopsyrna circulata can reach a length of 20–24 millimetres (0.79–0.94 in). Head, pronotum and mesonotum show black spots. Wings have quite variable brown crescents, loops and bands. There is a usually intact longitudinal dark brown band along vein R of tegmen. Basal cell is brown or black. Marking patterns may be obscured by melanism and clear areas may show orange colour. The ovipositor is primitive and adapted for piercing. [2] [3]
Bythopsyrna circulata has five larval stages and the winged adult hatches from the fifth. [4]
This species, when stimulated by ants, produces large quantities of honeydew. [5]
This species can be found in the subtropical and tropical forests of China, Malaysia, Thailand, Sumatra and Java. [3] [4] [6]
