Synonymy of Paraphetea Sakakibara and Creão-Duarte and Flynnia McKamey (Hemiptera: Membracidae: Smiliinae), with a Reinstated Combination, New Distribution Records, and a Key to All Species of Thuridini

A new genus of Cicadellini (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae) from the Oaxacan Cloud Forest, with taxonomic notes on allied red-striped genera

“…In addition, Nielson & Godoy (1995: fig. 2) did not properly show the asymmetrical process shape or strong adjoin to the anal tube. Mexico is home to 43 sharpshooter genera, of which 30% are presumably endemic to the country while 44% are widely dispersed in Central America, and the remaining are dispersed more broadly in North or South America (Metcalf 1964;McKamey 2001). The geographical distribution of Cicadellini has been poorly explored within Mexico (Young 1977;McKamey 2001).…”

The geographical distribution of Cicadellini has been poorly explored within Mexico (Young 1977;McKamey 2001). Most Mexican species were described or redescribed by Young (1977), and few additional records have been published subsequently, especially for endemic or uncommon genera and species.…”

“…Table 1 includes PINEDO-ESCATEL J.A. & BLANCO-RODRÍGUEZ E., New genus and redescription of Gillonella records from literature for Mexican Cicadellini, mostly retrieved from Oman (1949), Metcalf (1964), Young (1977), with additions from Nielson (1968), Dietrich (1994), McKamey (2001), and Blanco-Rodríguez & Pinedo-Escatel (2022.…”
