Abstract

The generic distinctness of Mocuellus and Henschia (Cicadellidae) is proven. The genus Goniagnathus is divided into four genera: Goniagnathus (with the subgenera Goniagnathus s. str. and Goniozygotes), Epistagma stat. n. (with the subgenera Epistagma, Epitephra, and Episarca), Tropicognathus stat. n., and Telogonus gen. n. with the type species Goniagnathus pectinatus Fletcher, 2008. A new synonymy is established in the family Delphacidae: Leimonodite Kirkaldy, 1907 = Ferganodelphax Dubovsky, 1970, syn. n. The following replacement names are given for homonyms: in Delphacidae, Migma Emeljanov, nom. n. for Polytropa Emeljanov, 1982, nom. praeocc., non Polytropa Swainson, 1840 (Mollusca, Gastropoda: Muricidae); Dicranotropis vilbastei Emeljanov, nom. n., sp. propria for Dicranotropis montana Vilbaste, 1965, secondary homonym, non Dicranotropis montana (Horvath, 1897) = Stiroma montana Horvath, 1897; Dicranotropis vilbastei is restored as a distinct species; in Dictyopharidae, Ostopicus Emeljanov, nom. n. for Opsigonus Emeljanov, 2006, nom. praeocc., non Opsigonus Baudi de Selve, 1877 (Coleoptera, Melandryidae); Rugorana Emeljanov, nom. n. for Cnodalum Emeljanov, 1978, nom. praeocc., non Cnodalum Agassiz, 1846 (Coleoptera, Tenebrionidae); in Derbidae, Synavella Emeljanov, nom. n. for Synavea Emeljanov, 1995, nom. praeocc., non Synavea Lallmand, 1955 (Homoptera, Cercopidae). Several new combinations are formed in the family Cicadellidae.
