Abstract

Evacanthinae is a small subfamily in the Cicadellidae (Young, 1968; Zhang, 1990). It was redefined by Dietrich (2004), who included the tribes Evacanthini, Nirvanini, Balbillini and Pagaroniini in this subfamily. Recently, a new species was found in loaned material from Thailand, having several peculiar features worthy of establishing a new genus, described below. In addition, based on study of specimens collected from the type locality, Cunedda signuma Li & Webb is transferred to the new genus.
