Abstract
Two new macropsine leafhopper species, Pediopsoides (Celopsis) membrana sp. nov. (China: Guizhou) and Pediopsoides (Pediopsoides) jingdongensis sp. nov. (China: Yunnan) are described and illustrated. The subgeneric placements of these species are only tentative because they disagree somewhat with previous diagnoses of their respective subgenera. This suggests that the classification of subgenera within Pediopsoides needs to be re-evaluated.References
