Paralivatiella serrata, a new genus and new species of Eodelphacini from China, with a redescription of Prolivatis Emeljanov (Hemiptera: Fulgoromorpha: Delphacidae)

“…Presently only these seven genera and their 20 species which are confined to the Austro-Oriental Region are known. Liang and Jiang (2002) studied the tribe Eodelphacini in the Chinese delphacid fauna and only a single species, Punana sinica Liang, was recorded by them. In this paper, two more species belonging to two different genera of Eodelphacini are reported from southern China.…”

Hainanaella lutea gen. and sp. nov., a new genus and species of delphacid planthopper (Hemiptera: Fulgoromorpha) from China

“…Despite the recently published monograph treating the entire delphacid fauna of China (Ding 2006), the size and diversity of habitats in China (Liang & Jiang, 2002) and recent description of several new taxa from this region (Qin 2005, Qin & Zhang 2006 suggest that the fauna remains inadequately surveyed.…”

Two new genera and two new species of Delphacidae (Hemiptera: Fulgoroidea) from China

“…It is easily differentiated from other fulgoroids by the presence of a movable spur at the end of the hind tibia (Yang & Yang, 1986). So far as the author are aware, more than 400 delphacid species belonging to five subfamilies and 129 genera are known to occur in China: three genera in Asiracinae (Liang & Jiang, 2002), one genus in Kelisinae, three genera in Stenocraninae (Chen & Liang, 2005), two genera in Vizcayinae (Liang & Jiang, 2002), and 120 genera in Delphacinae, representing the richest species diversity in the world.…”

“…Recent publications on Chinese Delphacini include , Chen & Ding (2002), and Qin (2005). Even so, the delphacid fauna of China is poorly known and the number of described species probably represents only a small fraction of the actual diversity of the entire Chinese delphacid fauna considering the vast territory and various complex habitats of China (Liang & Jiang, 2002).…”
