Abstract Oniella Matsumura, 1912

The leafhopper tribe Nirvanini Baker, 1923 is revised taxonomically comprising three genera and three respective from Korea: Nirvana placida (Stål, 1859), Oniella koreana (Matsumura, 1915), and 2. Oniella koreana (Matsumura, 1915) Sophonia orientalis (Matsumura, 1912). Among them, the synonymic status with reinstated validity for the Nirvana koreana Matsumura, 1915, Trans. Sapp. Nat. Hist. Soc. 5: 156, 171, 183 (Korea). second species is discussed herein. The third one has been treated as an exotic invasive leafhopper introduced to Europe and USA.

Remark: This species has been introduced into the Hawaiian islands possibly from East Asia, as reported by placida (Stål, 1859), without examining the type material of the former species. However, this synonymy Jones et al. (1998). This exotic invasive species is also established in Madeira, Gibraltar and Southern Spain, was not accepted by Metcalf (1963). Since then, the identities of these two species had not been confirmed, and subsequently spreading to many gardens and parks of other European countries (Wilson et al, 2011). although some authors still use the former name as valid, especially in India (cf. Viraktamath and Wesley, It is also presently distributed across the southern USA from California to North Carolina (Webb and 1988; Kamitani, 2012; Meshram and Rai, 2017). Viraktamath, 2004; unpublished data given by Dietrich: pers. comm., 2019), Recently, this synonymy has been confirmed by Viraktamath, who informed us as “I checked with Stål's Jassus (Deltocephalus) placidus and also partially checked with the type specimens of Nirvana pallida Melichar. I was not very successful with the male genitalia of the latter species. The Stål 's type is partially damaged, as the head has come off from the specimen and pasted on to card. I agree based on the characteristic markings on the head that both pallida and placida are synonyms”(pers. comm.: 2019, 2020).
