Cixius nervosus is a species of planthoppers in the tribe Cixiini. [1]
Cixius nervosus can reach a length of 6.5–7.5 millimetres (0.26–0.30 in) in males, of 7–8.5 millimetres (0.28–0.33 in) in females. [2] These large planthoppers show three keels on the scutellum. [3] The front wings are transparent, with two dark brown band and faint brown markings posteriorly. Dark spots there are along the costal margin and smaller spots on veins. [2]
Adults can be found from May to October. [2]
This widespread species is present in most of Europe, the East Palearctic realm, and the Nearctic realm. [4] [5]
These common planthoppers live on deciduous trees, on hedge rows and in meadows and scrublands. [3]
