Cixidia confusa is a species of planthopper in the family Achilidae, first described by Beirne in 1950. It belongs to a group of insects commonly known as achilid planthoppers, which are characterized by their distinctive head morphology and association with fungal hosts. The species has been recorded in North America, with distribution spanning parts of Canada and the northeastern United States. Like other members of Achilidae, it is presumed to feed on fungal mycelium, though specific ecological studies on this species remain limited.
