Agallia is a genus of leafhoppers in the subfamily Megophthalminae erected by John Curtis in 1833.[1] Species are mostly found in the western Palaearctic realm and the Americas.[2]

There are about eight species in North America.[3][4][5] During courtship displays and mating, both males and females of the species A. constricta alternate in making ticking sounds.[6]
