The new genus shows morpho- logical affinities to the Macropsini genus Galboa Distant recorded from Seychelles. A checklist of all known gen- era of Macropsinae is provided. Key words: Homoptera, Auchenorrhyncha, Macropsini, morphology, taxonomy Members of the leafhopper subfamily Macropsinae are of nearly Material and Methods worldwide distribution with endemic genera and species on all The specimens were collected using Malaise traps.

Most macro- ters and genital structures were examined under Olympus SZX12 psines appear to be specialized feeders on particular genera or spe- and Olympus U-DA microscopes. Morphological techniques and cies of woody hosts but a few inhabit grasslands or deserts and terminologies follow Hamilton (1980) and Zhang (1990), the rows feed on herbs. In the current classification, the tribe is organized of setae on the legs follows Rakitov (1998).

Nomenclature A recent study of a collection of samples from Madagascar This paper and the nomenclatural act it contains have been registered revealed the presence of a new endemic genus, Paragalboa. in Zoobank (www.zoobank.org), the official register of the This new genus resembles Galboa from Seychelles in International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature. The LSID having a long rostrum extending to the base of the hind trochan- (Life Science Identifier) number of the publication is: urn:lsid:zoobank. ters, which distinguishes them from other genera (Figs. 1–12)in org:pub:C0FD25EF-23A1-4559-BFC1-8203F387030D this tribe. Galboa was established by Distant (1909) with Galboa typica Generic Checklist of World Macropsinae Distant, 1909 (Figs. 18–20) as the type species.

Galboa was erected based on a female specimen and is still Asmaropsis Linnavuori known only from the type specimen of the type species (China, Asmaropsis Linnavuori, 1978:17 1925; Hamilton, 1980) thus the male genitalia have not been Type species: Asmaropsis troilos Linnavuori, 1978 described. Based upon careful examination of well-preserved Galboa Distant male and female specimens from Madagascar, a new genus is Galboa Distant, 1909:45 described. The new genus can be distinguished from Galboa by Type species: Galboa typica Distant, 1909 the apex of the clypellus lacking a notch, the forewing veins lack- Hephathus Ribaut ing white spots, the shorter body length and characters of the fe- Hephathus Ribaut, 1952: 437 male 7th sternite.
