Stictocephala brevis is a species of treehopper in the family Membracidae, first described by Francis Walker in 1851. Treehoppers in this genus are characterized by their enlarged pronotum, which extends over the thorax and often takes on distinctive shapes. The species has been recorded in several North American provinces and states including Alberta, Colorado, Connecticut, Idaho, and Kentucky. As a member of the Ceresini tribe, it belongs to a group of treehoppers that feed on plant sap using piercing-sucking mouthparts.
