Anchon is a genus of treehoppers. The name is derived from Greek: ἀγκών (bend, elbow) referring to the characteristic bend in the backward facing horn that arises vertically from the pronotum and turns at a near-right-angle over the abdomen. Two anterior horns rise outwards to the sides in many species. Species in the genus are found in the Afrotropical, Palearctic, and Indomalayan regions. They are placed in the subfamily Centrotinae.[2]
