Kalidasa albiflos is a species of planthopper in the family Fulgoridae found in India . It was earlier called Kalidasa lanata but the original name, Cicada lanata, was found to clash with an earlier usage of Cicada lanata described by Linnaeus in 1758. In order to avoid the homonymy, the next synonym in priority has been chosen.[1][2][3] They have a slender and flexible stalk-like outgrowth arising from above the tip of the snout.[3][2]
