Valenciolenda is a cavernicolous monotypic genus of planthopper in the family Kinnaridae.[1]

Etymology

The genus is a combination of Valencia (the type locality) and the tribe Adolendini. The species name is a combination of the Valencian word for "fairy" (fada) and forest meaning "fairy of the forest".[1]

Distribution

Specimens of Valenciolenda have been observed in six caves in the Valencian Community in Spain.[1]
