Abstract
Multiformis, a new leafhopper genus of Evacanthinae (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae), and two species, Multiformis longlin-gensis sp. nov. and Multiformis nigrifacialis sp. nov., from Yunnan, China are described. The differences between the new genus and the closely related genus Angustella Li are discussed.References
