Cladonota apicalis is a species of treehopper in the family Membracidae, known for its elaborate and often leaf- or thorn-like pronotum extensions that provide camouflage and defense. Native to parts of Central and South America, this species typically inhabits tropical and subtropical forested regions, where it feeds on plant sap.
