Abstract

The empoascine leafhopper subgenus Empoasca (Matsumurasca) Anufriev is redescribed. Four species, including three new species from China are reported: E. (M.) clypeata sp. nov., E. (M.) biloba sp. nov. and E. (M.) quadrifida sp. nov. New distributional records for E. (M.) onukii Matsuda are provided. A key to distinguish all species of the subgenus worldwide is also provided.
