Saiva nodata is a species of lanternfly.[1][2] It is endemic to Karnataka in the Western ghats.

Identification

It can be distinguished from other saiva species by the thickness of the head's projection (which is also known as a cephalic process). The overall colour can further aid in identification.[3]
