Abstract
A new leafhopper genus, Fanjingagen. nov., with type species F. digitata Yu & Yang, sp. nov., is described from the Guizhou Province of Southwest China. Habitus photos and illustrations of male genitalia of the new species are provided.
Highlights
The Alebroides group of Empoascini leafhoppers includes 25 genera and 156 species, widely distributed in the Palaearctic Region and Old World tropics (Xu et al 2016)
The new specimens examined are deposited in Institute of Entomology, Guizhou University, Guiyang, China (GUGC) and School of Karst Science, Guizhou Normal University, Guiyang, China
Within the Alebroides group of Empoascini, the new genus runs to Nulliata Lu, Xu & Qin in the key to genera by Xu et al (2017), based on the following characters: MP’ vein arising from r cell, coronal suture not extending onto face, anal tube appendage absent, crown face transition without a dark medial patch and male pygofer not emarginated dorsally, aedeagus with preatrium long
Summary
The Alebroides group of Empoascini leafhoppers includes 25 genera and 156 species, widely distributed in the Palaearctic Region and Old World tropics (Xu et al 2016). This paper adds a new genus with one new species, based on material from Guizhou (Southwest China). Within the Alebroides group of Empoascini, the new genus runs to Nulliata Lu, Xu & Qin in the key to genera by Xu et al (2017), based on the following characters (in order of couplets): MP’ vein arising from r cell, coronal suture not extending onto face, anal tube appendage absent, crown face transition without a dark medial patch and male pygofer not emarginated dorsally, aedeagus with preatrium long.
