6. Eupteryx (Stacla) gracilirama sp. nov. (Figs 33���42) Description. Body dull yellow. Vertex and pronotum mostly dark brown with symmetrical yellow spots. Vertex with three yellow spots anteriorly and one posteriorly; coronal suture slightly yellow. Pronotum with 5 faint parallel longitudinal yellow stripes medially and bilaterally. Scutellum yellow medially. Forewing with two round yellow patches in basal half and several round colourless patches in apical half. Hindwing slightly infuscated with longitudinal veins brown (Figs 33���35). Dorsum of abdomen brown, venter yellow excepting last 2 segments light brown. Abdominal apodemes extending to middle of 5 th segment. Hind margin of pygofer side rounded and slightly produced with several small rigid setae apically, and base of ventral margin with a row of rigid setae (Figs 36���37). Subgenital plate with long macroseta basally, and with row of microsetae at outside margin apically (Fig. 38). Outer margin of paramere bent at acute angle subapically (Fig. 39). Connective Y-shaped, with lateral arms slender. Aedeagus shaft with pair of long, slender S-shaped ventral processes and Y-shaped median dorsal process apically, ventral processes extending to base of shaft with outer margins bearing few irregularly placed spines; dorsoatrium slender (Figs 40���42). Measurement. Male 3.06 mm and female 3.07 mm (including wing). Type material. Holotype, ♂, Yunnan Prov., Dali, altitude 2000m, Labiatae, 11. XI. 1999, coll. Dworakowska; Paratype, 2 ♀♀, same data as holotype; 3 ♀♀, Tengchong, altitude 2000m, Artemisia, 26. XI. 1999, coll. Dworakowska. Notes. The new species closely resembles Eupteryx pentavittatus Hu & Kuoh in the external appearance, but its patch on vein ScP+RA is smaller than the patch in the 4 th apical cell which is opposite to the condition in Eupteryx pentavittatus. Moreover, the male genitalias are distinctive: the paired processes at the apex of aedeagus in the new species are lacking in Eupteryx pentavittatus. Etymology. The specific name is derived from a combination of the Latin prefix ���gracil-��� (slender) and the Latin word ���rama��� (twig), which refers to the aedeagal processes., Published as part of Hou, Xiao-Jiao, Zhang, Ya-Lin & Huang, Min, 2016, A taxonomic study of the genus Eupteryx Curtis (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae: Typhlocybinae), with description of five new records and one new species from China, pp. 591-599 in Zootaxa 4117 (4) on page 597, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4117.4.10, http://zenodo.org/record/263717

The new species is similar to T. trifasciata Huang in the aedeagal structure, but the former has five ivory patches on the vertex, pronotum and adjoining area between pronotum and scutellum, and the subgential plate has the inner lobe distinctly longer than the outer lobe which has four peg-like setae on the outer margin of the cucullate base and four peg-like setae on the hooked and pointed apex. In contrast, T. trifasciata has two conjoined longitudinal orange patches on the middle part of the vertex and pronotum, and the subgential plate has the inner lobe slightly shorter than the outer lobe which has seven peg-like setae longitudinally arranged on the outer margin of the cucullate base and lacks peg-like setae on the curved and lamellate apex. Etymology. The species name is derived from a combination of the Latin prefix ���quinque-��� (five) and the Latin word ���maculata��� (patch), which refers to five ivory patches on the crown, pronotum and scutellum., Published as part of Hou, Xiao-Jiao, Zhang, Ya-Lin & Huang, Min, 2016, A review of the Oriental leafhopper genera Thampoa Mahmood and Guheswaria Thapa (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae: Typhlocybinae), pp. 253-262 in Zootaxa 4144 (2) on pages 255-257, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4144.2.7, http://zenodo.org/record/259116

Thampoa alata (Dworakowska, 1994) comb. nov. (Figs 12���19) Guheswaria alata Dworakowska, 1994: 140 Notes. We were unable to examine specimens of Guheswaria alata Dworakowska, 1994, but the original description and illustrations provided by Dworakowska (1994) show that the male genitalia of Guheswaria alata have the generic characteristics of Thampoa Mahmood, especially the bilobed apex of the subgenital plate (Fig. 15) which distinguishes Thampoa from Guheswaria. So here we transfer Guheswaria alata to Thampoa., Published as part of Hou, Xiao-Jiao, Zhang, Ya-Lin & Huang, Min, 2016, A review of the Oriental leafhopper genera Thampoa Mahmood and Guheswaria Thapa (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae: Typhlocybinae), pp. 253-262 in Zootaxa 4144 (2) on page 257, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4144.2.7, http://zenodo.org/record/259116, {"references":["Dworakowska, I.

Mesonotum longer in middle line than vertex and pronotum combined (1.7���2.5: 1), median carina reaching the end of scutellum. Forewings relatively broad, longer in middle line than wide at widest part about 2.64���2.83: 1, widest at about apical 1 / 3, broadly acute at apex with a series of nearly connected transverse cross veins present at the posterior 1 / 3. Spinal formula of hind leg 5���6 ��� 4, post-tibial spur with an apical tooth. Basal segment of digitus longer than second and third combined (1.6 ���2.0: 1). Male Genitalia. Anal segment of male (Figs 4 ���7, 12, 13, 20, 21, 24) small, ring-like, ventral margin without processes or with a stout, very short process.

First valvifers present and moderately large, second valvifers long, broad and large. Ovipositor not surpassing the pygofer. Gonangulum (Fig 29; Zhu, 1988: Fig. 5) distinct, with apex blunt or rounded. Host Plant. Bamboo, such as Indocalamus latifolius (Keng) McClure (Ding & Hu 1991), Indocalamus sp. (Chen & Liang 2005), and Neosinocalamus sp. (this paper). Distribution. Oriental region (southern China). Discussion. Of the genera of the tribe Tropidocephalini, only three genera, Bambucibatus Muir, 1915 (monotypic, Singapore), Belocera Muir, 1913 (five species, south China) and Neobelocera (six species, south China), have the antennae flattened, sagittate or subsagittate. The genus Neobelocera is closely related to Belocera (Ding et al. 1986; Chen & Liang 2005; Chen et al. 2007), which also feeds on bamboo, but differs in the following: first segment of antennae with the apex unequally bifurcate, ventral apical angle much longer than dorsal apical angle (in Belocera, apex of first segment of antennae equally bifurcate, ventral apical angle subequal to dorsal apical angle); postclypeus in profile, apical part of median carina bend at rounded, not angled (in Belocera, postclypeus in profile, apical part of median carina and lateral carinae bend at angled); rostrum very short, only reaching mesotrochanters (rostrum surpassing mesotrochanters in Belocera); forewing relatively broad, longer in middle line than wide at widest part less than 3.0 times (more than 3.0 times in Belocera); and the surface of forewing often with blackish brown markings, in dark portion veins bear white or yellowish white spots (in Belocera, forewing often with a fuscous central longitudinal fascia, costal area light yellowish white). The genus Neobelocera is also closely related to Bambucibatus and can be distinguished by: first segment of antennae shorter than second (two segments of antennae with the same length in Bambucibatus); head including eyes wider than pronotum (in Bambucibatus, head including eyes narrower than pronotum); vertex with median carina distinct (very faint in Bambucibatus); frons with median carina forked at extremely base (not forked in Bambucibatus). The following characters are considered synapomorphies of the genus Neobelocera: antennae with first segment subsagittate, the ventral apical angle much longer than dorsal apical angle (Figs 3, 10, 18); when postclypeus viewed in profile, apical part of median carina bent at rounded angle, not at right angle; rostrum very short, only reaching mesotrochanters. The plesiomorphic character states based on outgroup comparison with the genus Belocera and Bambucibatus is antennae with first segment flattened, sagittate or subsagittate., Published as part of Hou, Xiao-Hui & Chen, Xiang-Sheng, 2010, Review of the Oriental bamboo delphacid genus Neobelocera Ding & Ya n g (Hemiptera: Fulgoromorpha: Delphacidae) with the description of one new species, pp. 39-50 in Zootaxa 2387 on pages 40-42, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.275835, {"references":["Ding, J. - H., Yang, L. - F. & Hu, C. - L.
