Leafhopper genus Pediopsoides Matsumura (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae: Macropsinae), with descriptions of two new species from China

“…Diagnosis. This new species is similar to P. (P.) bispinata Li, Dai & Li, 2012 according to the description of the male genitalia, but can be distinguished from the latter by the relatively long process of the pygofer; the differently shaped dorsal connective; and the aedeagal shaft not inflated at middle.…”

“…The leafhopper genus Pediopsoides was established by Matsumura (1912) based on the single species Pediopsoides formosanus Matsumura, 1912 from Taiwan. Twenty-six species (placed into five subgenera) in this genus have been described worldwide including 15 species reported from China (Matsumura 1912;Hamilton 1980;Viraktamath 1981Viraktamath , 1996Huang & Viraktamath 1993;Dai & Zhang 2009;Zhang 2010;Li et al 2011Li et al , 2012Li et al , 2013aLi et al , 2013b. In this paper, 2 new species P. (C.) montaninversa sp.…”

Description of two new species of the leafhopper subgenus Pediopsoides (Pediopsoides) (Hemiptera, Cicadellidae, Macropsinae) from Guangxi Province, Southern China

“…The nominate subgenus was characterized by Hamilton (1980) and Li et al (2012). It can be distinguished by the following combination of features: pronotal striations oblique, forewings with two anteapical cells, dorsal connective freely attached (fused in subgenus Pediopsoides (Celopsis) ) to tenth tergite, and male pygofer without multifid or additional spines [male pygofer spine bifid or with rounded lobe on inner margin basally in subgenus Pediopsoides (Sispocnis) , a small secondary pygofer spine posteriorly in subgenus Pediopsoides (Nanopsis) , and male pygofer spine are multifid in subgenus Pediopsoides (Kiamoncopsis) ].…”
