Lystra pulverulenta is a species of planthopper in the genus Lystra. It is found in South America.[1]
With a waxed head and thorax, it has an elaborate long "tail of wax". The basal 2/3rds of the forewing is whole waxed, by which it can be separated from L. lanata. The remainder of the forewing is black. [2]
The species is found in Brazil, Suriname, and French Guinea.[3]
