Abstract:

In this paper, 1 new genus and 1 new species of leafhopper subfamily Mukariinae (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae) from Guizhou Province, China, Pseudomohunia gen. Nov. and P. nigrifascia sp. Nov., attacking Chimonobambusa Makino (Gramineae: Bambusoideae), are described and illustrated. This new genus is closely related to Mohunia Distant, but can be distinguished from the latter by the forewing with 4 apical cells, the aedeagus with 2 gonopores, dorsoatrium short, and the connective Y-shaped. All type specimens are deposited in the Institute of Entomology, Guizhou University.

Key words: Hemiptera, Cicadellidae, Mukariinae, new genus, new species, Chimonobambusa angustifoli, Guizhou Province
