Pyrops coelestinus is a species of planthopper belonging to a genus referred-to as lantern-flies, sometimes known as the blue lantern fly (Vietnamese: ve sầu xanh). This species is found in Indochina: both P. coelestinus and P. ducalis have type specimens from Cambodia, with relatively recent records for the insect fauna of Vietnam.[2]
The head, and cephalic process are grey-black with numerous white spots (see figure) and the hind wings (not shown) are royal blue with a black zone around the wing tip.
