New combinations in sharpshooter leafhoppers (Hemiptera : Cicadellidae : Cicadellinae)

• Author(s): McKamey, Stuart;
• Abstract: Nine species-group name changes in Cicadellinae are proposed so that all species in the subfamily can be listed in a single classification that is aligned with the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature. Bothrogonia tangmaiana Yang and Li and Mareba panamensis Young are fixed as the correct original spellings. Five new combinations are proposed: Hadria alayoi and H. zayasi (Dlabola and Novoa), Caribovia intensa nigrinervis (Schroder), and Cicadella viridis suffusa (Salmon), and C. intermedia (Rao). The combination Cardioscarta flavifrons transversa Melichar is reinstated. Diedrocephala bimaculata (Gmelin) is reinstated as the valid name for the species of the genus most often cited in literature and collections as D. variegata (Fabricius).
