Barolineocerus chiasmus

Barolineocerus chiasmus is a species of leafhopper native to French Guiana. The length is 4.0–4.3 millimetres (0.16–0.17 in). It is named for the thin, sword-like protrusion on the last segment of the abdomen on the male. It is distinguished from other species in the genus on the basis of the aforementioned protrusion.[1]
