Cosmoscarta

Cosmoscarta is a genus of froghoppers found in the Indo-Malayan 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.

Type species
Cercopis heros
Fabricius, 1803

The genus was erected by 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.[2][3]

Cosmoscarta dorsimacula is sometimes considered a pest on glutinous rice yam (Dioscorea alata).[4] Cosmoscarta relata has been recorded in large numbers on jackfruit (Artocarpus heterophyllus).
