Gargara genistae is a species of treehopper in the subfamily Centrotinae.[2]
Gargara genistae is dark brown in colour and reaches body lengths between 3 and 5 millimeters.[3] The prominent and finely haired pronotum is curved upwards and extended backwards into a long, straight projection. In contrast to the similar but significantly larger Centrotus cornutus, this species does not have lateral, ear-shaped outgrowths in the head area. The forewings are brownish translucent and streaked with light brown veins.
