Abstract

The dikraneurine leafhopper genus Typhlocybella Baker is revised based on a comparative morphological study, and a keyfor identification of males is provided. Five valid species are recognized, four of which were previously described and another one new, Typhlocybella affinis sp. nov. Typhlocybella parva Ruppel & DeLong is re-described.
