Review of the leafhopper tribe Adelungiini (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae: Megophthalminae) from the Indian subcontinent

Abstract

Two known species of Adelungiini from India (Rajasthan) and Pakistan are redescribed and illustrated. These include one new combination, Assiuta omani (Kameswara Rao & Ramakrishnan) comb. nov. and the other species being Platyproctus maculatus (Pruthi). The leg chaetotaxy and female genitalia of these two species are described and illustrated for the first time. In addition, male genitalia of the two other species of Assiuta Linnavuori namely, A. camena Linnavuori and A. salina Lindberg are illustrated. A revised key is given to distinguish the two tribes recognised from the region (Agalliini and Adelungiini).
