Verdanus is a genus of true bugs belonging to the family Cicadellidae.[2]
Taxonomy[]
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]
Distribution and habitat[]
The species of this holarctic genus are mainly found in Eurasia and Northern America, especially in meadows of the mountain regions.[2]

Description[]
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]
Biology[]
Adults are on wing from mid March to mid August.[5]
