Abstract

The Oriental leafhopper genus Alishania (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae: Deltocephalinae) was established by Vilbaste (1969) for a single species, Thamnotettix formosanus Matsumura, 1914, from Taiwan. So far, this genus included only the type species. Here we describe and illustrate a new species from Guizhou Province, China. Type specimens are deposited in the Institute of Entomology, Guizhou University, Guiyang, China (GUGC).
