Eoscarta is a genus of froghopper (Cercopidae) with about 50 species distributed in the Oriental region. Species in the genus are identified by a combination of characters that include an elongated pubescent body, highly laterally compressed postclypeus, the hind tibia with a single lateral spur and genital characters of the males.[1]
The genus has been treated widely differently by different workers and is closely related to several other genera like Euryaulax. Species that have been placed in the genus include:
