Abstract

A new genus, Leptofloria gen. n., is erected; its type species Delphax leptosoma Flor, 1861 was previously placed in the genus Florodelphax Vilbaste, 1968 with the type species Delphax paryphasma Flor, 1861. Delphax paryphasma is returned to the genus Struebingianella W. Wagner, 1963; thus, Florodelphax is synonymized with this genus, and a new synonymy is established: Struebingianella W. Wagner, 1963 = Florodelphax Vilbaste, 1968, syn. n. Two new subgenera are described in the genus Unkanodes Fennah, 1956: Parapate subgen. n. with the type species Calligypona latespinosa Dlabola, and Pliapate subgen. n. with the type species Elymodelphax tanasijevici Dlabola. New species Thymalops erianthi sp. n. from Middle Asia and Eurysa lugubris sp. n. from Middle Asia and the Caucasus are described.
