Abstract

Three new species of the Oriental bamboo delphacid planthopper genus Kakuna Matsumura (Hemiptera: Fulgoromorpha: Delphacidae: Delphacinae: Delphacini), K. lii sp. nov. (Guizhou: Jiangkou, Suiyang, Daozhen), K. nonspina sp. nov. (Guizhou: Jiangkou, Leishan) and K. zhongtuana sp. nov. (Guizhou: Leishan, Suiyang, Daozhen, Libo), are described and illustrated from southwestern China. The generic characteristics are redefined. A checklist and a key to species of genus Kakuna are provided.
