Abstract

Four new species of Zanna Kirkaldy, 1902 are described: two from Cambodia, Z. chartieri Constant sp. nov. from Tatai in Koh Kong Province and Z. limbourgi Constant sp. nov. from Phnom Aural Wildlife Sanctuary in Kampong Speu Province and Kbal Spean in Siem Reap Province, and two from Vietnam: Z. bidoupana sp. nov. from Bidoup-Nui Ba National Park in Lam Dong Province and Z. kusamae sp. nov. from Dong Nai Biosphere Reserve in Dong Nai Province. Illustrations of the holotypes and male genitalia, photographs of live specimens and nymphs, a distribution map and host plants records are provided. The type of Zanna chinensis (Distant, 1893) is also illustrated for comparison. The genus Zanna now contains 37 species.

Keywords: Fulgoroidea, Auchenorrhyncha, Dictyopharidae, Indochina

Abstract

A new species of the Asian lanternfly genus Saiva Distant, 1906, Saiva constanti Jiaranaisakul sp. nov., is described from Thailand with illustrations and distribution map. Saiva virescens (Westwood, 1842) is proposed as a senior synonym of Saiva phesamensis Ollenbach, 1928 syn. nov. and Fulgora pyrrhochlora Butler, 1874 syn. nov. is now considered as junior synonym of Pyrops cultellatus (Walker, 1857).

ABSTRACT

A new species of the genus Pyrops Spinola, 1839 (Fulgoridae), Pyrops buomvoi sp. nov., is described from Ca Na, Ninh Thuan Province in Central Vietnam. It is attributed to the candelaria group and compared with the other species of the genus. Pyrops lathburii (Kirby, 1818) is proposed as a senior synonym of P. astarte (Distant, 1914), transferred back to the candelaria group from the pyrrhorhynchus group, and recorded from Laos for the first time. The candelaria and pyrorhynchus groups are defined and commented on. Intraspecific variation in the colour of the hind wings is recorded for the first time in Pyrops condorinus (Lallemand, 1960). A checklist of the 12 Vietnamese species of Pyrops and an illustrated key which can also be used for Laos, Cambodia and Southern Continental China, are given. Pyrops buomvoi sp. nov. is the first new species of Pyrops discovered in Indochina for more than 50 years. Intraspecific colour variation in the species of Pyrops is briefly discussed.

Pyrops buomvoi sp. nov.

Diagnosis: The species can be separated from all other species of Pyrops by the following combination of characters:(1) posterior wings milky white with apex and area along sutural margin black brown, with brown area paler and narrower towards basosutural angle (Fig. 1B);(2) cephalic process elongate and very slender, moderately curved dorsad (Fig. 1C–G);(3) head yellow with dorsum and sides of cephalic process reddish (Fig. 1);(4) tegmina with 3 irregular yellow bands on basal half, the two more distal ones formed from rows of elongate markings (Fig. 1B).

Etymology: The species epithet buomvoi is a Vietnamese name for the species of the genus Pyrops, with ʻ[con] buomʼ meaning ʻbutterflyʼ and ʻ[con] voiʼ meaning ʻelephantʼ. The name literally means ʻbutterfly-elephantʼ and is used as a name in apposition.

Abstract

Pseudoamycle polylepisae gen. et sp. nov. is described from northernmost Chile (Arica and Parinacota Region). It is characterized by the small and brown body, head with no preocular flange, cephalic process porrect and dorsoventrally compressed, dorsal surface from lateral view not angulate at level of eyes, eyes round, tegmina concolorous and vein MP of tegmen pectinate. The new taxon was found to be associated with Polyepis rugulosa Bitter (Rosaceae).
