<em>Eurhadina</em> (<em>Singhardina</em>) Mahmood (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae: Typhlocybinae) from China: A Review of the Asian Species with Descriptions of 14 New Species

Abstract

In this study, 50 species of the leafhopper subgenus Eurhadina (Singhardina) Mahmood from China are reviewed based on comparative morphological characteristics, including 14 new species: Eurhadina (Singhardina) amacularis, E. (S.) extensa, E. (S.) flaviscutella, E. (S.) foliiformis, E. (S.) galacta, E. (S.) gracilifurca, E. (S.) lata, E. (S.) parilintanonica, E. (S.) quadrimacularis, E. (S.) recta, E. (S.) scalesa, E. (S.) scamba, E. (S.) scandens and E. (S.) uprotrusa sp. nov. Four additional species E. (S.) fasciata, E. (S.) jarrayi, E. (S.) prima and E. (S.) zadyma are recorded from China for the first time. Two new synonymies are proposed. Eurhadina (Singhardina) flavescens Huang et Zhang, 1999 syn. nov. is synonymized with Eurhadina wuyiana Yang et Li, 1991 and Eurhadina rubromia Cai et Kuoh, 1993 syn. nov. is synonymized with Eurhadina (Singhardina) biavis Yang et Li, 1991. A key to all Chinese Singhardina species is also provided.
