Pygofer distal shoulder not developed, dorsal beak absent, pygofer upper lobe lobate, pygofer basal lobe elongated, flattened, adpressed to pygofer, uncus lobe short, semicircular when viewed from above, claspers well developed, broad at base, meeting along midline, diverging anterolaterad, curving and narrowing to recurving distal terminus, male aedeagus a simple tubular structure with pseudoparameres restrained by claspers. Measurements (mm). Length of body: 13.4���13.4; length of fore wing: 12.8���12.8; width of fore wing: 5.5���5.5; length of head: 2.6���2.6; width of head including eyes: 4.4���4.4; width of pronotum including suprahumeral plates: 4.6���4.6; width of mesonotum: 4.2���4.2. Diagnosis. Ingcainyenzane n. gen. can be distinguished from all other known African Cicadettini except Stellenboschia by the combination of eight apical cells in the fore wings and five apical cells in the hind wings. Species of Buyisa have seven and five apical cells in the fore and hind wings. Species of Afromelampsalta and Pinheya have eight and six apical cells in the fore and hind wings with one species of Afromelampsalta having four hind wing apical cells. The single species of Stellenboschia can be distinguished by the short, broad (twice as long as broad), and rounded fore wings with a strongly curved, bow-like costal margin beginning at the base of the fore wing while the fore wings are about 2.3X longer than broad, with a straight costal margin and more typical fore wing shape in the new genus. Molecular data suggest it is closely related to Buyisa (Marshall et al. 2015a). Distribution. Species of the genus have been collected in Eastern Cape and KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa., Published as part of Sanborn, Allen F. & Villet, Martin H., 2020, A new genus and three new species of South African Cicadettini (Hemiptera Cicadidae: Cicadettinae), pp. 579-590 in Zootaxa 4885 (4) on pages 580-581, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4885.4.7, http://zenodo.org/record/4296979, {"references":["Marshall, D.
