ZooKeys 829: 23–28. https://doi.org/10.3897/ zookeys.829.28718 Abstract A new genus of the leafhopper tribe Erythroneurini (Cicadellidae, Typhlocybinae) from Thailand, Undulivena gen. n., and a new species Undulivena thaiensis sp. n., are described and illustrated. The new genus exhibits a unique feature of the forewing venation with CuA vein strongly sinuate. Keywords Auchenorrhyncha, Homoptera, morphology, new taxa, taxonomy Introduction Erythroneurini Young (1952) is the largest tribe in the subfamily Typhlocybinae. The tribe is particularly diverse in Southeast Asia where many genera and species remain to be described. In this study, a new genus from Thailand, similar to Salka Dworakowska, 1972, is described based on its unique strongly sinuate CuA vein in the forewing Copyright Yuehua Song,, Can Li. -
Abstract Balme, Geoffrey Robert
ABSTRACT BALME, GEOFFREY ROBERT. Phylogeny and Systematics of the Leafhopper Subfamily Typhlocybinae (Insecta: Hemiptera: Cicadellidae). (Under the direction of Lewis L. Deitz and Brian M. Wiegmann.) This research examined the phylogeny of the tribes of the leafhopper subfamily Typhlocybinae using both morphological, 73 binary and multistate characters, and molecular, 16S rDNA and Histone (H3), evidence. Seventy-five taxa were included in the morphological study, and 48 were included in the molecular analysis. The combined, total evidence, analysis used 48 taxa common to both sets of data. Results of the total evidence analyses suggested four tribes with the following topology: Alebrini + (Empoascini + Typhlocybini) + (Dikraneurini including subtribe Erythroneurina). This topology does not completely resemble any of the last century’s major typhlocybine works, but comes closest to Dr. Young’s 1952 reclassification of the Western Hemisphere Typhlocybinae. Based on the results of these analyses, a revised classification is proposed which synonymizes tribes Forcipatini Hamilton 1998 and Erythroneurini Young 1952 as Dikraneurini McAtee 1926, Jorumini McAtee 1926 and Helionini Haupt 1929 as Empoascini Distant 1908, and Zyginellini Dworakowska 1977 as Typhlocybini Distant 1908. A key is provided to distinguish the tribes, and each is described with notes on distribution and evolutionary relationships, a list of the included genera (current to February. 2007), and illustrations of key morphological characters. DISCLAIMER Nomenclatural acts included in this thesis are not considered published within the meaning of the 1999 International Code of Zoological Nomenclature (see Article 8.3). This work will be published in parts elsewhere, in accordance with Article 8 of the Code.

E-mail: [email protected] Abstract Eight new species of the erythroneurine genus Salka are described and illustrated from the Ryukyu Islands, southern Japan: S. denticulata sp. nov., S. circumflexa sp. nov., S. okinawana sp. nov., S. diversa sp. nov., S. dimorpha sp. nov., S. maesatoensis sp. nov., S. nusukuensis sp. nov. and S. trimaculata sp. nov. Key words: Auchenorrhyncha, Erythroneurini, taxonomy, new species, dimorphism Introduction The erythroneurine genus Salka Dworakowska, 1972 was reviewed by Sohi & Mann (1994). Subsequently, ten species were added by Dworakowska (1994, 2006) and Zhang et al. (2009) redescribed the genus and described nine species from China. As a result, 53 species have been recorded from the Oriental region. In the course of my taxonomic study on the Japanese typhlocybine fauna, I discovered eight new species of the genus. The distributional range of each species is generally very narrow, and these new species are apparently endemic to the Ryukyus, southern Japan. The genus has not been recorded previously from other parts of Japan. Metcalf (1968) cited Matsumura (1934) as recording Zygina nigricans Matsumura (= Salka -

DWORAKOWSKA Abstract New genus of Erythroneurini from the area between East Himalayas and Suma- tra, with 8 new species, described and illu- strated. Known host plants belong to the family Araceae. Males of the most of the known species deposit thick layer of bro- chosomes on frontoclypeus or on both, frontoclypeus and anteclypeus. The description of the new genus made once in terms of comparative morphology and again in terms of convention. Keywords: Typhlocybinae, new taxa, Oriental Region, comparative morphology, behaviour.

Key words: Homoptera, Auchenorrhyncha, Erythroneurini, taxonomy Introduction The Oriental leafhopper genus Salka Dworakowska, 1972 belongs to the Typhlocybinae tribe Erythroneurini with Zygina nigricans Matsumura, 1932 as its type species. It was subsequently reviewed by Sohi & Mann (1994) and Dworakowska (1994, 2006); forty-four species are known, including 20 species from China. In the present work, nine new species from China are described and illustrated. All specimens examined are deposited to the collection of the Entomological Museum of Northwest A & F University (NWAFU), China.
