Fauna Portal Genus Number: 126
(after Fletcher & Larivière 2009): Small delicate leafhoppers 2.5–4 mm long. Vertex longer medially than against eyes, medially roundly angulate or convex with coronal suture present over basal half. Ocelli absent. Pronotum longer than vertex with lateral margins clearly separating eye from base of tegmen and concave hind margin; approximately as wide as width of head across eyes, wider posteriorly than anteriorly. Tegmina translucent, of even texture throughout, frequently yellow or with yellow markings. Apical cell 3 (counting from sutural margin) basally truncate (closed with crossvein). Apical cell 2 narrower than cells 1 or 3.

Subgenital plate with distinct subbasal mound bearing short, thick macrosetae in dense row which extends to half length of plate; oblique line of three to five macrosetae just basad of midlength; short hair setae in obscure row along dorsal margin, around apex and sometimes extending along venter of apical third of plate. Paramere apically T-shaped or truncate with preapical lobe not prominent. Connective short, quadrate with short/ median lobe.
(after https://biodiversity.org.au/afd/taxa/Anzygina): The genus Anzygina is the dominant genus of Erythroneurini in Australia. Although there are only eight described species, plus two nomina dubia, at least 50 undescribed species have been recognised. The species are mainly coastal in distribution although some species are known from more arid inland localities. The distribution provided here includes the undescribed species. The name Anzygina literally means ‘not Zygina’ but it also reflects the main distribution of the genus between Australian and New Zealand. Species are also known from Papua New Guinea, the Solomon Islands, Western Samoa and Fiji.
