# Acanalonia

Acanalonia is a genus of planthopper and contains the majority of the species within the family Acanaloniidae. Species have been recorded from southern Europe and the Americas.

## Description

They are generally about 10mm or less in length and are mostly green in colour, though some species have pink or tan forms.
