Nephotettix[1] is a genus of planthoppers[2] in the subfamily Deltocephalinae and tribe Chiasmini. Species are mostly found in Asia, although two are from Africa.
Known as 'green leafhoppers' of paddy/rice, Nephotettix cincticeps[3] and N. virescens[4] appear to be the most important Asian pest species in this genus: as vectors of viruses, such as tungro disease in rice. File:Larva of planthopper.webm
