Astatometopon sakakibarai gen. & sp. nov., a montane planthopper from Chile (Hemiptera: Fulgoroidea: Delphacidae)

Abstract

<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title> <jats:p><jats:italic>Astatometopon</jats:italic> gen. nov. is described to accommodate <jats:italic>A. sakakibarai</jats:italic> sp. nov., a delphacid planthopper distributed in the Nahuelbuta and Andes mountain ranges in the central and south central zones of Chile. The new taxon is placed into Delphacini but it presents some unusual features for the tribe, such as a strongly asymmetrical phallus with a porrect process arising from base, the absence of teeth on the hind margin of calcar, and an exceptional variation in carination of the eumetope.</jats:p>

“…En la última década ha existido un nuevo e importante incremento en el conocimiento de la fauna de fulgoroideos chilenos, por un lado, las contribuciones del autor del presente trabajo como investigador nacional (Campodonico 2015(Campodonico , 2016(Campodonico , 2017a(Campodonico , 2017b(Campodonico , 2017c(Campodonico , 2017d2018a, 2018c, 2020Campodonico y Emeljanov 2017;Campodonico y Lüer 2018;Campodonico y Fierro 2019;Campodonico y Coccia 2019), y por otro, los aportes del especialista ruso Alexandr Fedorovich Emeljanov, en parte gracias al material obtenido en la expedición a Chile del Instituto Paleontológico de la Academia Rusa de Ciencias Naturales (Emeljanov , 2014(Emeljanov , 2015a(Emeljanov , 2015bAsche y Emeljanov 2016).…”

Taxonomic study of the genus Aoyuanus Ding &amp; Chen, with descriptions of two new species (Hemiptera, Fulgoromorpha, Delphacidae)

“…The planthopper tribe Delphacini Leach, 1815 (Hemiptera: Fulgoromorpha: Delphacidae: Delphacinae) occurs in all ecoregions (excluding Antarctica). It is the largest clade of Delphacidae, including approximately 1639 species in 322 genera (Bourgoin 2018), and the group promises to continue to grow as new diversity is discovered (Yang 1989; Bartlett and Kunz 2015; Ren et al 2015; Campodonico 2017; Remes Lenicov and Brentassi 2017).…”
