Idiocerus is a large genus of Auchenorrhynchan bugs belonging to the family Cicadellidae (the leafhoppers) and typical of the tribe Idiocerini.
Description
The group is characterised by a very short and broadly rounded vertex (head); many species are very similar and difficult to identify. Most are found on specific host plants, particularly poplars and willows. For instance the common European species I. vitreus is found exclusively on certain poplars; this and a number of others are found in the British Isles.
