Opsius is a genus of leafhoppers belonging to the family Cicadellidae. These insects are characterized by their wedge-shaped bodies and ability to jump quickly. Opsius species are found in various regions of the world, with some species being considered pests on cultivated plants. Their diet consists primarily of plant sap, which they extract using their piercing-sucking mouthparts. Identification of Opsius species often requires careful examination of morphological features, including wing venation and genital structures. The life cycle of Opsius leafhoppers includes egg, nymph, and adult stages. Control measures for Opsius infestations may involve the use of insecticides or biological control methods.
