Abstract

Two new bamboo feeding leafhopper species of the subfamily Deltocephalinae, from China, are described and illustrated: Bambusananus anhuiensis Huang & Tang, sp. nov. (Athysanini) and Scaphotettix aurantiacus Huang & Tang, sp. nov. (Mukariini). Checklists to the two tribes and two genera from China are given and keys to the species of the two genera are provided.
