Systematic Study Of Erythroneurini From China (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae: Typhlocybinae)

The present dissertation is a systematic study on the tribe Erythroneurini from China.The species of Erythroneurini in China were described and keyed. 120 species of 27 genera including 1 new recorded genus, 26 new species, 18 new recorded species and 10 new combinations. Excepting that, 44 figures were drawn.New recorded geneus: Ziczacella Anufriev rec. nov.New species: Thaia biunca sp. nov.,Thaia appendicula sp. nov.,Parathaia leishanensis sp. nov.,Parathaia trifurcata sp. nov.,Elbelus liae sp. nov.,Alnetoidia fuscomacula sp. nov.,Alnetoidia aedeagusna sp. nov.,Tautoneuraprocessa sp. nov.,Tautoneura danjianga sp. nov.,Mitjaevia longipoda sp. nov.,Mitjaevia aurifascialia sp. nov.,Mitjaevia laterospora sp. nov.,Diomma rutila sp. nov.,Diomma corollae sp. nov.,Diommapopulus sp. nov.,Seriana barusna sp. nov.,Empoascanara arcuata sp. nov.,Empoascanara danjiangana sp. nov.,Kapsa songae sp. nov.,Kapsa anteclypeusa sp. nov.,Kapsa fangxianga sp. nov.,Kapsa sinuata sp. nov.,Zygina biprocessa sp. nov.,Zygina flammena sp. nov.,Zygina scutuma sp. nov.,Ziczacella hexaramficatia sp. nov..New recorded species: Elbelus tripunctatus Mahmood, 1967 rec. nov.,Elbelus wierzbowskae Dworakowska, 1971 rec. nov.,Singapora indicus (Ramakrishnan et Menon, 1973) rec. nov. and other fifteen new recorded species.New combinations: Tautoneura mori (Matsumura, 1906) comb, nov.,Kapsa modesta (Ahmed, 1970) comb, nov.,Mitjaevia cajanae (Ahmed, 1970) comb. nov. and other seven new combinations.The faunal analysis of the Chinese Erythroneurini were given out. The results show that: 27 known genera constitute 6 types of distribution in Zoogeographic regions in the world. Among them, 8 genera are distributeed in Oriental region, which occupy 29.63%, while 3 genera in Palaearctic region and 12 genera in Oriental + Palaearctic region, accounting for 11.11% and 44.44% respectively. Therefore, we can get the conclusion easily: the rate of the third type of the distribution (Oriental+Palaearctic region) mentioned above is highest, almost nearly half. 24 genera in total belong to Oriental region, holding 88.89%, the next one is Palaearctic region, including 19 genera, taking up 70.37%. It is obvious that Oriental genera compose the majority of the Chinese Erythroneurini at genera level, and Palaearctic region is secondary.All the known genera constitute 16 types of distribution in seven Chinese Zoogeographic sub-regions. Among them, 13 genera are presented in Central China sub-region, 15 genera in South China sub-region, 9 genera in Central China + South China sub-region, accounting for 48.15%, 55.56% and 33.33% respectively. The other types noly take up a very low percentage. It is shown that South China sub-region genera compose the majority of the Chinese Erythroneurini at genera level, and Central China sub-region is secondary.
