Abstract
Introrsa, a new genus and species of the tribe Opsiini from southern China (Yunnan) is described. Diagnosis of the new genus together with information on the karyotype is given. Introrsa most closely resembles Opsius Fieber, but it is the first genus of the Opsiini with the body longer than 8 mm and can be distinguished from the latter by body not wedgeshaped, head as broad as pronotum and aedeagus with socle not bulbous. The sex determination system is XO/XX and the karyotype of the species is 2n=12(10+XO). The detailed morphology of the new genus is described; external habitus and line drawings of male and female gentalia of the new taxon are given. An annotated check-list and generic key to Old World members of the leafhopper tribe Opsiini are provided.References
