Abstract

Three new species of the leafhopper genus Inflatopina, I. longistria, I. aprocessa and I. paravictorspp. nov., are described from China and Thailand. A checklist with distribution of the genus and a revised key to all known species based on male genitalia are provided. Male habitus photos and illustrations of male genitalia of the new species are also given. A replacement name, Barbulanus Xu, Qin et Dietrich, nom. nov., is proposed for the junior homonym Barbaropus Xu, Qin et Dietrich, 2019 (nec BarbaropusGorham, 1887), creating a new combination for the type species, Barbulanus flatusXu, Qin et Dietrich, 2019, comb. nov.
