Abstract

The seven previously known species and one subspecies of Nephotettix are redefined, namely, N. virescens (Distant), N. nigropictus (Stål), N. cincticeps (Uhler), N. modulatus Melichar, N. malayanus Ishihara & Kawase, N. afer Ghauri and N. nigropictus yapicola Linnavuori. N. sympatricus is described as new. Nephotettix spp. fall into two groups, African (two species) and Asian (six species, one subspecies) which can be separated on genitalic characters. Distribution maps are given for each species. A key to the species based on external characters is given, but determinations should be confirmed by the genitalic characters.
