Abstract

A new leafhopper genus of the tribe Evacanthini (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae: Evacanthinae) from China, Neomultiformis gen. nov. with Neomultiformis dabieshanensis sp. nov. as type species is described and illustrated. A key to Chinese genera of Evacanthini are provided. The type specimens of the new species are deposited in the Institute of Entomology, Guizhou University, Guiyang, China (GUGC).
