Four species of planthoppers were collected using net traps and an aspirator on a weather ship above the Pacific Ocean, An entornegenous fungus, thynia delphacis (Entomophthorales), was isolated from a specimen of the whitebacked rice planthoppeT, Sogatetla jurcijlera. The fungal isolate was infectious to 3 species of planthoppers, Sogatella.fttrcijbra, Nitaparvata lugens, Laocteiphax striatelt...

Minucella gen. n. and two species (M. divaricata sp. n. and M. leucomaculata (Li & Zhang) comb. n.) from southern China are described in the leafhopper subfamily Stegelytrinae. Difficulties in the delimitation of one of the included species, M. leucomaculata and its junior synonym Placidus maculates Li & Zhang, syn. nov., are discussed, and the observed variation is considered to be intraspecif...

Four new species in two new genera of leafhoppers (Hemiptera, Auchenorrhyncha, Cicadellidae, Deltocephalinae) are described. All are associated with Xerophyta species (Velloziaceae, Pandanales), and are usually tended by ants. Observations and discussions of the ant associations are provided. The new leafhopper genera and species are: Xerophytavorus furcillatus gen.n & sp.n., from Malawi, and t...

A new deltocephaline leafhopper genus Hamulotettix is described and illustrated based on a large, distinctly patterned species, Hamulotettix ungulatus sp. nov., from China and Thailand, and is tentatively placed in the tribe Athysanini. Detailed morphological description and illustrations are provided. The genus is similar to Abrus Dai & Zhang in external body form, and also bears a superficial...

The Chinese leafhopper species of the genus Scaphoidella Vilbaste are reviewed, and one new species Scaphoidelladietrichi sp. n. is described and illustrated. Two species are recorded from China for the first time: Scaphoidellaclavatella Dai & Dietrich, 2011 and Scaphoidellazhangi (Viraktamath & Mohan, 2004). A key based on the male genitalia is given to distinguish Chinese species of this genu...
