Two New Species of Betacixius Matsumura, 1914 (Hemiptera: Fulgoromorpha: Cixiidae) from Southwestern China, with an Updated Checklist and Key to Species †

SIMPLE SUMMARY: Betacixius Matsumura, 1914 is a small genus of cixiid planthoppers distributed throughout China, Japan and Vietnam. Despite its rich biodiversity in Southwest China, Betacixius has not been taxonomically well studied in this region. Here, two new species, Betacixius gongshanensis sp....

description SIMPLE SUMMARY: Betacixius Matsumura, 1914 is a small genus of cixiid planthoppers distributed throughout China, Japan and Vietnam. Despite its rich biodiversity in Southwest China, Betacixius has not been taxonomically well studied in this region. Here, two new species, Betacixius gongshanensis sp. nov. from Yunan Province and B. guizhouensis sp. nov. from Guizhou Province, are described, giving the genus 27 species in total. We believe that the discovery in this study will contribute to further studies on the classification and phylogeny of Cixiidae. ABSTRACT: In this study, two new species of genus Betacixius Matsumura, 1914 (Fulgoromorpha, Cixiidae), Betacixius gongshanensis sp. nov. from Yunnan Province and B. guizhouensis sp. nov. from Guizhou Province, are described and illustrated. An updated checklist and identification key to known species of the genus Betacixius are provided.
