Further new genus-group names in the Cicadellidae (Hemiptera)

• Author(s): McKamey, Stuart;
• Abstract: New replacement names are proposed for 11 genera or subgenera of leafhoppers in the subfamilies Coelidiinae, Ledrinae, Macropsinae, Scarinae, Typhlocybinae, and Ulopinae: Davduospina for Duospina Davies, Dialodia for Lodia Nielson, Doowella for Woodella Evans, Hobemanella for Bohemanella DeLong & Freytag (subgenus of Polana), Latycephala for Platycephala, Lesinda for Selinda Theron, Lonnia for Nollia Hamilton, Negoneura for Genoneura Dlabola, Olidiana for Lodiana Nielson, Ruana for Urana Coelho & Nessimian (subgenus of Gypona), and Varpulana for Parvulana DeLong & Freytag (subgenus of Polana). The new generic names circumscribe 116 valid species, 93 of which are here proposed in new combinations. Twenty-two of the remainder are in preoccupied scarine subgenera. Lodiana pectinata Yang & Zhang (1995) is preoccupied by L. pectinata Nielson (1982)-the new replacement name Olidiana yangi McKamey is proposed to replace the junior primary homonym. One of the new combinations involves a known vector of phytopathogens, the sandal leafbopper (now Ofidiana indica [Walker]). The spellings of Humpatagallia Linnavuori & Viraktamath (Agalliinae) and Limassolla Dlabola (Typhlocybinae) are fixed as correct.
