Verdanus is a genus of true bugs belonging to the family Cicadellidae. [2]
The genus Verdanus was established by Oman (1949). The author distinguished Verdanus from the genus Diplocolenus on the base of aedeagal differences. Several authors considered it a subgenus of Diplocolenus. The genus Verdanus includes two subgenera, Verdanus and Erdianus. [3]
The species of this holarctic genus are mainly found in Eurasia and Northern America, especially in meadows of the mountain regions. [2]
Species within this genus include: [1] [2]
Verdanus species can reach a body length of about 3–5 mm (0.12–0.20 in). These leafhoppers are pale green with dark brown or black venter and legs. In Eridianus subgenus, aedeagus shows a basal apodeme strongly produced laterally, while connective have arms parallel distally and fused over part of length. Verdanus subgenus has a long and narrow aedeagus and connective with arms divergent distally and abructly angled to midline. [4]
Adults are on wing from mid March to mid August. [5]
