Abstract
The paper deals with one new genus and three new species from China, Dietrichia, gen. nov., Midoria barbula sp. nov., Midoria plana sp. nov. and Midoria triprocessa sp. nov.. A key to distinguish all species of the genus Midoria (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae: Ledrinae: Ledrini) (except Midoria capitata Kato) is given. The type specimens of new species are deposited in the School of Life Sciences, Qufu Normal University, Qufu, Shandong (QFNU).
