Lystra lanata is a planthopper species in the genus Lystra . [1] Originally described by Carl Linnaeus by its basionym Cicada lanata. [2]
Lystra lanata has black wings with blue spots and red sides to its head. [3] It can be differentiated from Lystra pulverulenta by the white area of the wing being confined to an edge.
This species is found in Brazil, [4] French Guiana, [3] [4] French West Indies, [3] [4] Guyana, Mexico, [4] and Suriname. [4]
A host plant of this species is the tree Simarouba amara. [5] L. lanata was witnessed gathering in a group on this tree at a locality near where the Napo and Yagua rivers join. [5]
