The genus Magia Distant (Hemiptera: Lophopidae): review and biogeographic history

Muséum National d’Histoire Naturelle, département Systématique et Evolution, USM 601, UMR 5202 du CNRS, CP 50, 45 rue Buffon, F-75005 Paris France
Hemiptera synonymy new species Fulgoromorpha Australia

Abstract

Kasserota illingworthi Baker, 1925 is transferred to the genus Magia Distant, 1907 and placed in synonymy with Magia subocellata Distant, 1907. The first description of the male genitalia of this species is provided along with the first description of the fifth instar nymph. A new species for this genus is described, Magia stuarti Soulier-Perkins sp. n. The presence of this genus in Australia is discussed in terms of its historical biogeography.
