The author distinguished Verdanus from the genus Diplocolenus on the base of aedeagal differences.

[3] The species of this holarctic genus are mainly found in Eurasia and Northern America, especially in meadows of the mountain regions.

These leafhoppers are pale green with dark brown or black venter and legs.

In Eridianus subgenus, aedeagus shows a basal apodeme strongly produced laterally, while connective have arms parallel distally and fused over part of length.

Verdanus subgenus has a long and narrow aedeagus and connective with arms divergent distally and abructly angled to midline.
