The leafhopper genus Dusuna Distant is revised to include seven species including one new species D. anacantha sp. nov. from China and one new combination D. distanti (Schmidt) n. comb. All species are described and illustrated. A checklist to species of the genus is provided together with a key to separate the two species known from the male. Figures of an unknown species from Malaysia (possibly new) are also included.

The leafhopper genus Destinoides Cai & He is revised to include two species D. latifrons (Walker 1851, Ledra) n. comb. and D. conspicuus (Distant 1907, Petalocephala) n. comb. Destinoides fasciata Cai & He, 2000 is placed as a junior synonym of D. latifrons, syn. nov. These two species are redescribed and illustrated in detail and a key is given based on the males.

The paper deals with eight species of the genus Midoria Kato, 1931 (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae: Ledrinae), including three new combinations and two new species, Midoria emmrichi (Zhang et al, 2004) comb. nov., Midoria longicornis (Zhang et al, 2004) comb. nov., Midoria funebris (Jacobi, 1944) comb. nov., Midoria huapingensis sp. nov. and Midoria lamellata sp. nov.. A key to distinguish all species of the genus (except Midoria capitata Kato) is given, and illustrations of genitalia are provided. The type specimens of new species are deposited in the Institute of Entomology, Guizhou University (GUGC).
