# Cosmoscarta

Cosmoscarta is a genus of froghoppers found in the Indomalayan region. Many of the species are boldly marked in black and red or yellow. A few species are of economic importance as they can cause injury to plants under cultivation.

## Description

The genus was erected by Carl Stål on the basis of a large frons extending almost to the eyes and lacking any longitudinal furrows or keels. The hind tibia has a strong spine at the mid position and sometimes a smaller spine near the base. The related genus Phymatostetha has a narrower pronotum with the posterior margin straighter or with a sinuate margin before the scutellum.
Cosmoscarta dorsimacula is sometimes considered a pest on glutinous rice yam (Dioscorea alata). Cosmoscarta relata has been recorded in large numbers on jackfruit (Artocarpus heterophyllus).
