This widespread species is present in most of Europe, the East Palearctic realm, and the Nearctic realm. These common planthoppers live on deciduous trees, on hedge rows and in meadows and scrublands. Adults can be found from May to October.

Cixius nervosus can reach a length of 6.5–7.5 mm in males, of 7–8.5 mm in females. These large planthoppers show three keels on the scutellum. The postclypeus is brownish yellow, much lighter than the frons. The front wings are transparent with spots along the costal margin are larger than those on veins, and there is usually a brown transverse band on the forewings in the basal half, with faint dark markings posteriorly.
