Leades is a genus of planthoppers in the tribe Cixiini. Species in this genus have been observed across Australia.

In 2025, Luo et al. published a paper in Systematic Entomology, proposing that Leades—along with two other genera endemic to Australia (Chidaea and Tyligma)—be grouped in a new tribe named Chidaeini.

Species

There are at least six described species in the genus Leades:

Leades centralis Löcker, 2020
Leades clypealis (Muir, 1931)
Leades ginginensis Löcker, 2020
Leades grandis Löcker, 2020
Leades rufinis Jacobi, 1928
Leades warro Löcker, 2020
