Gyponana is a genus of leafhoppers in the family Cicadellidae found mainly in North America. There are at least 90 described species in Gyponana, but most are difficult to identify based on external characteristics.[1][2]
Species are usually green in appearance, sometimes with a blue tint, but some species have fully- and partially-pink forms.
This genus is found mostly throughout North and South America. It's very diverse throughout the United States, despite some species being morphologically identical. The genus has potentially been introduced to Europe and has been recorded in Borneo.[3]
