Achilus is the type genus[1] of planthoppers of the family Achilidae. This may be a monotypic genus containing the type species Achilus flammeus.[2]Kirby, 1818: which is the "red fingernail bug" and found in Australia.[3] The placement of A. cixioides Spinola from Chile, is uncertain,[4] but it may belong in Mnemosyne Stål, 1866 (Cixiinae}.
