Cicadella is the type genus of leafhoppers in the subfamily Cicadellinae and tribe Cicadellini. Species are found mostly in Europe and Asia, but there are also records from Africa and the Americas.[1]

Cicadella was named by Pierre André Latreille in 1817;[2] earlier authorities had placed species (and those of similar genera) in the pre-occupied Tettigonia L., 1758: the genus of large bush crickets. There were also many orthographic variants.[1]
