Abstract

Two new species of leafhoppers, Hishimonus nauniensis sp. nov. (from Himachal Pradesh: Solan) and Hishimonus pantanagarensis sp. nov. (from Uttarakhand: Pant Nagar) from India, are described and illustrated. Also, the species Hishimonus thapai Virakatamath and Mohan, previously known only from Nepal is illustrated with a new record for India.
