Tricentrus longiceps is a species of treehoppers in the subfamily Centrotinae described by K. S. Ananthasubramanian in 1980. It is found in India.

Etymology

The species name longiceps comes from the Latin for "long head".

Description

Tricentrus longiceps was described from a single female holotype without access to a male specimen. It measures 5.7 millimeters in length from the frontal margin to the tips of the tegmina, with a head about two and three-fourths times as wide as it is long. Its general coloration is rusty brown, with a rusty brown pronotum, tawny brown suprahumeral horns shaded with black at the apical third, and tegmina bearing a pale white rounded fascia on the basal sixth. The abdomen is dark reddish brown, and the legs are entirely tawny brown.
