Species Diversity in the Leafhopper Genus Batracomorphus Lewis (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae: Iassinae) from Qinling Mountain in Shaanxi

SIMPLE SUMMARY: Qinling Mountain is one of the global biodiversity hotspots, dividing northern temperate zones from subtropical zones. However, no species of Batracomorphus was previously recorded from Qinling Mountain in Shaanxi. We collected some specimens of Batracomorphus from this site and clas...

description SIMPLE SUMMARY: Qinling Mountain is one of the global biodiversity hotspots, dividing northern temperate zones from subtropical zones. However, no species of Batracomorphus was previously recorded from Qinling Mountain in Shaanxi. We collected some specimens of Batracomorphus from this site and classified these into nine species based on a comparative morphological study, including one new species and one new synonym. The results of this study revealed species diversity and distributions of Batracomorphus. ABSTRACT: The genus Batracomorphus Lewis is the third largest leafhopper genus in the world, with its greatest diversity in the Oriental region. Here, nine species of Batracomorphus, including one new species, are recorded from Shaanxi Province, China, for the first time: B. allionii (Turton), B. clavatus Cai and Shen, B. fletcheri Hu and Dai sp. nov., B. geminatus (Li and Wang), B. juno Knight, B. lateprocessus Li and Wang, B. lunatus Cai and He, B. subfuscus (Li and Wang) and B. pandarus Knight. Among them, B. juno Knight is recorded from China for the first time. One new synonym is revealed: B. nigromarginattus Cai and Shen, 1999 is a junior synonym of B. subfuscus (Li and Wang, 1993). All taxa are described, and photographs of male genitalia are given based on observations of specimens from Qinling Mountain in Shaanxi of China. A key to the species found in Qinling Mountain of Shaanxi is also provided.
