Hemiptera Leafhoppers Auchenorrhyncha Idiocerinae new taxa China

Abstract

The leafhopper subfamily Idiocerinae from Hainan Island (China) is reviewed. Eight genera and 10 species are recognized including one new genus and one new species, Longistyla gen. nov. and Longistyla viraktamathi sp. nov., based on specimens from Jianfengling Nature Reserve. A checklist and keys to genera and species are included.
