Abstract

Two new issid genera of the tribe Parahiraciini (Hemiptera: Fulgoromorpha: Issidae) are described from China: Paratetricodes gen. nov. and Fusiissus gen. nov. Two new species, Paratetricodes sinensis sp. nov. (China: Guizhou, Guangxi) and Fusiissus frontomaculatus sp. nov. (China: Guizhou), are described and illustrated. The tribe Parahiraciini is discussed briefly. A key to the genera in the tribe Parahiraciini is given.
