I've observed Ficocyba ficaria (Hemiptera, Cicadellidae) in my local area, but iRecord doesn't recognise the species name. Is it because this species is new to the UK?

Yes, it's relatively new and hasn't been added to the UKSI list that iRecord is based on. I've seen it recently too (in Norwich a couple of weeks ago) and mentioned it to Alan Stewart, the national recording scheme organiser, who said that he will have it added, so keep the details safe and hopefully you will be able to add it on at some point in the near future.
