A new genus and two new species in the tribe Selizini (Hemiptera: Fulgoromorpha: Flatidae) with a checklist for the tribe from China Author Ai, Deqiang Author Wang, Yinglun Author Zhang, Yalin text Zootaxa 2019 2019-06-10 4614 2 368 382 journal article 26536 10.11646/zootaxa.4614.2.6 8306e53f-cbe8-4c39-b2cf-6c647c4e9a13 1175-5326 3242468 3E3F3906-B5D9-4645-AC32-D2738E7160F9 Armorseliza gen. nov. Type species. Flatoides lignaria Walker, 1851 ; by present designation. Etymology. The generic name is a combination of the words: “armor” meaning a special protective clothing over people’s bodies and the name of the genus Seliza , which means this new genus resembles Seliza . The gender is feminine. Diagnosis. The genus Armorseliza differs from the genus Seliza Stål, 1862 by the following characters ( Stål, 1862a ): tegmina with a very short vein Scp+R at base cell (tegmina without vein Scp+R at base cell in Seliza ); anterior margin of head evenly convex (anterior margin of head conical in Seliza ); male genital style isosceles triangular (male genital style semicircular in Seliza ); phallic complex with processes branched (phallic complex with processes not branched in Seliza ). Description. Small-sized planthoppers ( 8–10 mm long). Overall color dark brown or black. Head ( Fig. 3 ) narrower than pronotum. Vertex wider than long, anterior margin evenly convex or truncate in dorsal view. Frons broader than long, usually with longitudinal median carina; lateral margins convex or obtusely angled, apical portion of frons concave. Pronotum ( Figs 3, 4 ) with anterior margin evenly convex, sometimes concave in the middle, median carina weak; postocular emineneces strongly conical. Tegmina ( Fig. 2 ) usually 2 times longer than wide, costal membrane broader than costal cell; costal margin slightly sinuate before apex, apical margin convex with one subapical line of crossveins; three longitudinal veins arising from basal cell (Scp+R, Mp, CuA), vein Scp+RA crossing elevated bulla. Metatibia with two lateral spines. Male genitalia. Pygofer ( Fig. 6 ) ring-like. Genital style ( Fig. 6 ) isosceles triangular, with one process at dorsocaudal portion. Anal tube apex bipartite in dorsal view. Phallic complex ( Fig. 7 ) slightly arched; periandrium tubular, with lateral emargination moderately wide, dorsolateral emargination shallow, dorsal lobe produced caudad into large membranous plates, lateral lobe with a large process, ventral lobe slender. Aedeagus ( Figs 12, 14, 16, 19, 22, 25 ) bipartite. Distribution. Oriental region ( China ).
