Nephotettix[1] 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[2] and N. virescens[3] appear to be the most important Asian pest species in this genus: as vectors of viruses, such as tungro disease in rice.
