New species of 'incredibly rare' insect discovered in Uganda

A British scientist has discovered an "incredibly rare" species of insects in Uganda that belongs to a group so rare that its closest relative was last seen in 1969. He has named the metallic-sheened leafhopper Phlogis kibalensis. The 0.26-inch long insect has a pitted body and like most leafhoppers, has uniquely-shaped male reproductive organs, in this case partially leaf-shaped.
