It belongs to the subfamily Typhlocybinae, commonly known as microleafhoppers, and is part of the diverse genus Erythroneura. The species is one of numerous small, colorful leafhoppers found in North America, often observed on vegetation in late autumn. Like other members of its genus, it feeds on plant sap and is active during warmer periods even late in the season.
