Original description

Cicadella aequalis (Signoret, 1854) is sometimes listed as a valid species; however Wilson et al. 2009 have studied the type specimen and conclude that this name is a synonym of Cicadella viridis. I accept this view here.

Identification

Distribution
Widely distributed in Europe. Also recorded from Russia and Israel, China, Sri Lanka, and Indonesia; probably palearctic.
