A new planthopper genus, Mucillnata, is established with a new species, Mucillnata rava sp. nov. as the type species, in the tribe Tropidocephalini, subfamily Delphacinae from southern China. A key to the known genera of the tribe from China is also provided and the differences between the new genus and closely related genera are discussed.
