Pamendanga is a genus of planthoppers from the family Derbidae, tribe Zoraidini, with 37 species, as of 2024.

About two-thirds of the species, including the type species, are found in tropical and some subtropical parts of Asia, from Sri Lanka in the West to parts of Japan in the North-East and including the Philippines, Indonesia and New Guinea.

[17][13][6][14] Pamendanga species can be recognized by a combination of different characters in the forewing venation as well as the shape of the head and the antennae.

The head has a narrow face (frons) with the ridges on the sides meeting in front of the eyes.

In other species, a lighter or darker colour pattern may dominate on the forewings and the wings of Pamendanga nigra are nearly all black.

[3][7] Host plant records of adults are rare, but Pamendanga species have been collected from coconut palms in Africa.

[18][19] In southern parts of Luzon Island (Philippines, Asia), Pamendanga fuscipennis was one of the most common insects found on young coconut palms.
