Eoscarta is a genus of froghopper (Cercopidae) with about 50 species distributed in the Oriental region. Species in the genus are identified by a combination of characters that include an elongated pubescent body, highly laterally compressed postclypeus, the hind tibia with a single lateral spur and genital characters of the males.
The genus has been treated widely differently by different workers and is closely related to several other genera like Euryaulax. Species that have been placed in the genus include:
