Hemiptera Brazil leafhoppers Neocoelidiini neotropics taxonomy

Abstract

Neocoelidiinae comprises leafhoppers endemic to the New World, with the highest diversity found in the Neotropical Region. Currently, there are 200 valid species within 36 genera. In this study, we transfer Coelidiana distinctissima Linnavuori, 1965 and C. undata (Linnavuori, 1956) to the genus Salvina Melichar, 1926, describe and illustrate the female genitalia of Salvina undata comb. nov., and report a new record for the species in the state of Paraná. Additionally, we provide a new diagnosis for the genus, propose an identification key for males, and conduct a literature survey of host plant records for neocoelidiine species.
