Abstract

Stiller (2019) described a new leafhopper genus, Discolopeus, with nine new species, but the original publication did not satisfy the criteria for availability for the proposed new taxa because repositories were not indicated for primary types as required by Article 16.4.2 of the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature (International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature 1999). The previously published (Stiller 2019) names are validated below and additional errors and omissions in the original figures are corrected.
