Abstract

The paralimnine leafhopper genus Jilinga Ghauri is revised and additional characters of the leg and female genitalia are described. A new species, Jilinga taibaiensis sp. nov., from China is described. Habitus photographs and illustrations of male and female genitalia of J. taibaiensis sp. nov. and J. asymmetrica Xing are provided. A key is given to distinguish males of five species.
