Recilia is a genus of typical leafhoppers from the family Cicadellidae, recorded mostly from Africa, the West Palaearctic and New Zealand.

[1] As of Webb & Viraktamath (2009), the vast majority of former species, includong the zig-zag leafhopper of rice R. dorsalis, are now placed in the genus Maiestas.

Before this, the genus was sometimes treated as a subgenus of Deltocephalus, of the same tribe.

[2][3][1][4] The World Auchenorrhyncha Database[2] includes: Note: the zig-zag leafhopper of rice, known as R. dorsalis, is now Maiestas dorsalis (Motschulsky, 1859)
