Macrotrichia gen. n., a new leafhopper genus of the tribe Ledrini (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae: Ledrinae), and three species, M. deltata sp. n., M. hamata sp. n. and M. flavomarginata (Kuoh & Cai) n. comb., from southern China are described and illustrated. A key to all species is provided, and the differences between the new genus and a closely related genus Tituria Stål are discussed.

Two bacterial symbionts of the European pest leafhopper, Macrosteles quadripunctulatus (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae), were fully sequenced. "Candidatus Sulcia muelleri" and "Ca. Nasuia deltocephalinicola" represent two of the smallest known bacterial genomes at 190 kb and 112 kb, respectively. Genome sequences are nearly identical to strains reported from the closely related host species, M. quadri...

This paper describes and illustrates a new Calodia leafhopper species from China (Oriental Region), namely Calodia dentispina Fan, Li & Chen, sp. n. (Cicadellidae: Coelidiinae: Coelidiini) and provides a distribution map for the new species. A key to the Chinese coelidiine genera and species of Calodia is also provided.

In this study, Cicadellidae (Hemiptera: Cicadormorpha) species collected from Sinop and its surroundings in 2016-2018 were evaluated. 27 belonging to 7 subfamilies identified the study area. List of species, number specimens, localities, Turkey zoogeographical distribution are given. Of 11 first records for local fauna Sinop, 5 Black Sea Region

A replacement name is proposed for genus Dayus Gerken, 2001 (Crustacea: Peracarida: Cumacea), preoccupied by Dayus Mahmood, 1967 (Insecta: Hemiptera: Cicadellidae). The following changes are proposed: Jennidayus new replacement name = Dayus Gerken, 2001 (nec Mahmood 1967); Jennidayus pharocheradus (Gerken, 2001), comb. n. = Dayus pharocheradus Gerken, 2001; Jennidayus acanthus (Gerken, 2001), c...

A new monobasic subgenus, Macropsis (Spinoniacropsis) subgen. nov., of the subfamily Macropsinae (Hemiptera: Auchenorrhyncha: Cicadellidae) based on type species Macropsis flavovirens Kuoh, 1992 from Yunnan Province of China is proposed. The new subgenus can be distinguished by the unique character of the male pygofer with two spinelike processes on the caudal margin. Macropsis (S.)flavovirens ...

A new replacement name Angustuma nom. nov. is proposed for the leafhopper genus Angustella Li, 1986 of the subfamily Evacanthinae (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae), and twelve new combinations are proposed. A new species Angustuma rudorsuma sp. nov. is described and illustrated from China. A key is given to distinguish all species of the genus. The type specimens of the new species are deposited in the...

Cryptic habitats are often overlooked in biodiversity surveys. Phytotelmata, or plant pools, one type of cryptic habitat that supports diverse fauna a miniature ecosystem. This study surveys the arthropod community two types phytotelmata, bracts and leaf rolls, on single species, Calathea capitata (Ruiz Pav.) Lindl. (Zingiberales: Marantaceae), from Amazon site Peru. Specimens were collected ei...

Introduction Identification of vectors and potential vectors of Grapevine yellows (GY) diseases is crucial for epidemiology and control of these important diseases (Boudon-Padieu, 2005). Few information are reported in literature concerning the specificity of vector transmission of phytoplasmas. Some phytoplasma strains seem to be specifically transmitted, for example phytoplasmas in the Elm ye...
