Abstract
A new species of the Old World leafhopper genus Drabescus Stål (Cicadellidae: Deltocephalinae: Drabescini), D. hainanensis sp. nov., is described from Hainan Province, southern China. Figures are also given for D. albofasciatus Cai & He and D. nitens Stål and a checklist and key to species of the genus from China are provided.
