Abstract

The leafhopper tribe Goniagnathini (Cicadellidae: Deltocephalinae) is reviewed from China. Seven species are recognised and a key provided for the six species for which males are known. One new species, Goniagnathus cornutus sp. n., is described and Megalopsius tamaricius Cai, is transferred to Tamaricades, comb. nov.
