Abstract

Two new species of Deferunda Distant, 1912 (Hemiptera: Fulgoroidae: Achilidae: Plectoderini), D. diana sp. nov. (China: Yunnan) and D. qiana sp. nov. (China: Guizhou, Yunnan), from southwest China, are described. The generic characters are modified, including the addition of male genitalia characters. A key for identifying the known species of Deferunda is provided.
