Abstract

A new genus of Ianeirina (Cicadellidae: Deltocephalinae: Selenocephalini), Gyrosus gen. nov. including the new species Gyrosus deltodontus sp. nov. as the type species, is described and illustrated from South Africa. Habitus photographs of adult leafhoppers and the genitalia of this new species are provided. Type specimens of this new species are deposited in the Iziko South African Museum, Cape Town, South Africa (ISAM).
