Abstract
The deltocephaline leafhoppers (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae) of Pakistan are reviewed and a key to tribes and a checklist is provided. Two new species are described: Bampurius pakistanicus sp. nov. and Neolimnus quadricornis sp. nov. 16 new synonymies and four new combinations are proposed and a total of 31 genera and 57 species are recorded.References
