Abstract. Analysis of thirty‐four macrosteline and twenty‐eight non‐macrosteline leafhopper genera (Homoptera: Cicadellidae: Deltocephalinae) suggests that the ability to transmit plant viruses has arisen on at least three separate occasions within the Macrostelini. The tribe, including the Coryphaelini syn.n. and Balcluthini, is shown to be monophyletic. A revised diagnosis of the Macrostelini is presented, together with a key to genera. Five new genera and eight new species are described: Adergannagen.n., Cicadabaragen.n.Kadrabolinagen.n., Masafueragen.n. and Scaphostelesgen.n., Yamatotettix remaneisp.n., Masafuera oceanicasp.n., Aderganna aethiopicasp.n., A.nigrasp.n., Scaphosteles nukahivasp.n., Kadrabolina elongatasp.n., K.sinuatasp.n. and K.bispinosasp.n. Four new combinations and five new synonymies are established: Cicadabara dorsalis (Osborn) comb.n., C.minuta (Osborn) comb.n., C.tintorella (Osborn) comb.n., Balclutha thea (Distant) comb.n., B.smaragdula Matsumura as a junior synonym of B.thea (Distant) syn.n., B.modesta Ahmed, Murtaza & Malik as a junior synonym of B.incisa (Matsumura) syn.n., B.karachiensis Ahmed, Murtaza & Malik as a junior synonym of B.rubrostriata (Melichar) syn.n., B.versicoloroides Ghauri as a junior synonym of B.sternalis (Distant) syn.n. and B.knighti Rao & Ramakrishnan as a junior synonym of B.sujawalensis Ahmed syn.n.

Abstract. The classification of the largest subfamily of leafhoppers, Deltocephalinae, including 38 tribes, 923 genera, and 6683 valid species, is reviewed and revised. An updated phylogeny of the subfamily based on molecular (28S, Histone H3) and morphological data and an expanded taxon sample (37 taxa not included in previous analyses) is presented. Based on the results of these analyses and on the morphological examination of many representatives of the subfamily, the classification of the tribes and subtribes of Deltocephalinae is revised. Complete morphological descriptions, illustrations, lists of the included genera, and notes on their distribution, ecology, and important vector species are provided for the 38 recognized tribes and 18 subtribes. A dichotomous key to the tribes is provided. All names in the taxonomic treatments are hyperlinked to online resources for individual taxa which are supported by a comprehensive database for Deltocephalinae compiled using the taxonomic database software package 3I. The online functionality includes an interactive key to tribes and subtribes and advanced database searching options. Each taxon (subspecies through subfamily) has a unique taxon webpage providing nomenclatural information, lists of included taxa, an automated description (if available), images (if available), distributional information, bibliographic references and links to outside resources.

“…Therefore, it is unlikely that Balclutha spp. is a vector of TbYDV as it feeds predominately on grasses (Knight, 1987;Pilkington et al, 2004;Narhardiyati & Bailey, 2005) and TbYDV has only been detected in dicots. Furthermore, there is no evidence that this species is a phloem feeder.…”

“…2) Samples were emptied onto the sieves and briefly shaken. Each sieve was emptied and all leafhoppers were transferred to a Petri dish for microscopic identification using taxonomic keys (Evans, 1966;Ghauri, 1966;Knight, 1975Knight, , 1987Day & Fletcher, 1994;Fletcher, 2009 and updates). Identified specimens were transferred to a 1.5-mL test tube and stored at −80…”

Factors that determine the epidemiology of Tobacco yellow dwarf virus (TbYDV), including alternative host plants and insect vector(s), were assessed over three consecutive growing seasons at four field sites in Northeastern Victoria in commercial tobacco growing properties. In addition, these factors were assessed for one growing season at three bean growing properties. Overall, 23 leafhopper species were identified at the 7 sites, with Orosius orientalis as the predominant leafhopper. Of the leafhoppers collected, only O. orientalis and Anzygina zealandica tested positive for TbYDV by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The population dynamics of O. orientalis was assessed using sweep net sampling over three growing seasons and a trimodal distribution was observed. Despite large numbers of O. orientalis occurring early in the growing season (September-October), TbYDV was only detected in these leafhoppers between late November and end of January. The peaks in the detection of TbYDV in O. orientalis correlated with the observation of disease symptoms in tobacco and bean and were associated with warmer temperatures and lower rainfall. Spatial and temporal distribution of vegetation at selected sites was determined using quadrat sampling. Of the 40 plant species identified, TbYDV was detected only in four dicotyledonous species, Amaranthus retroflexus, Phaseolus vulgaris, Nicotiana tabacum and Raphanus raphanistrum. The proportion of host and non-host availability for leafhoppers was associated with climatic conditions.
