Studies on Indian Typhlocybinae (Homoptera: Cicadellidae)

Abstract Ten species of Cicadellidae belonging to the tribe Erythroneurini, nine new to science and one new combination, are described here. These are Sirosoma indica, sp. nov., Platytettix variegatus, sp. nov., P. sudra (Distant), Hardiana thiosimilis, sp. nov., Zygina fuscoviridis, sp. nov., Z. minor, sp. nov. Z. unipunctata, sp. nov., Z. acutivertex, sp. nov., Z. bipunctata, sp. nov., and Z. punctulata sp. nov. Out of these species P. sudra is a new combination transferred from Typhlocyba and is redescrided here since the original description was found incomplete. A key for the separation of the genera studied by the authors under this tribe is given.
