Abstract

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.

Highlights

The Oriental leafhopper genus Calodia (Cicadellidae: Coelidiinae: Coelidiini) was erected by Nielson (1982) based on C. multipectinata as its type species from Malaysia
The type specimens are deposited in the Institute of Entomology, Guizhou University, Guiyang, China (GUGC)
Pygofer side extended into a long lateral caudodorsal process

Summary

Introduction

The Oriental leafhopper genus Calodia (Cicadellidae: Coelidiinae: Coelidiini) was erected by Nielson (1982) based on C. multipectinata as its type species from Malaysia. The type specimens are deposited in the Institute of Entomology, Guizhou University, Guiyang, China (GUGC). This genus can be separated from the other Chinese coelidiine genera mainly by the asymmetrical aedeagus without ventral paraphysis and with two or more apical or subapical processes (see key to genera). Key to species (male) of the genus Calodia from China (modified from Zhang 1994)
