A Review of the Fauna of the Planthopper Family Lophopidae (Homoptera, Fulgoroidea) from Vietnam with Descriptions of New Genera and Species and with Taxonomic Notes

摘要

Six new species are described from Vietnam, Apia simplex sp. n. , Bisma angulata sp. n. , Pitambara trypetoides sp. n. , Sarmatoca cathemerina gen. et sp. n. , Maracota soulierae gen. et sp. n. , and Serida castanea sp. n. , and Zeleja thoracalis sp. n. from Malaysia. Two new genera, Maracota gen. n. (type species M. soulierae sp. n.) and Sarmatoca gen. n. (type species S. cathemerina sp. n.), and a new subgenus Zelomacha subgen. n. (type species Zeleja thoracalis sp. n.) in the genus Zeleja are erected. The genus Binaluana Soulier-Perkins et Stroiński is downgraded to a subgenus of Zeleja Melichar. The genus Silvispina Wang et Soulier-Perkins with an uncertain systematic position is attributed to the subfamily Lophopinae and the tribe Lophopini. The placement of the genus Elasmoscelis Spinola (and, correspondingly, the tribe Elasmoscelini) in the subfamily Menoscinae, the genus Epiptyxis Gerstaecker in the tribe Menoscini, and the genus Jivatma Melichar in the tribe Lophopini is substantiated. New records of 11 species are given from Vietnam, some being first records for this country.
