Abstract

The Oriental leafhopper genus Thailocyba was established by Mahmood (1967) in the tribe Zyginellini of Typhlocybinae with Thailocyba elbeli Mahmood from Thailand as its type species. Another four species were added to the genus by Huang, Zhang & Fang (2003). Up to now, five species have been recorded, all from the Oriental region. In the present paper, a new Chinese species is described and illustrated and a key to all species is given. All specimens examined are deposited to the collection of the Institute of Entomology, Guizhou University, Guiyang (IEGU), China.
