Nephotettix is a genus of leafhoppers in the subfamily Deltocephalinae and tribe Chiasmini. Species are mostly found in Asia, although two are from Africa.
Known as 'green leafhoppers' of paddy/rice, Nephotettix cincticeps and N. virescens appear to be the most important Asian pest species in this genus: as vectors of viruses, such as tungro disease in rice. thumb|center|video of nymph movement
