So far, 81 species of the genus Empoascanara have been reported, most of which are distributed in Afrotropical or Oriental or Australian regions. The leafhopper genus Kapsa was established by Dworakowska (1972) and mainly distributed in the Orient or Australia.Two new species of the leafhopper tribe Erythroneurini from Guizhou province, China, Empoascanara dichotomus sp. nov. and Kapsa sinuose sp. nov. are described and illustrated. Two keys to distinguish the Chinese species of the genus are given.
