Abstract: Four species in four genera of Dictyopharidae (Hemiptera: Fulgoromorpha) are
recorded from Nepal, including Dictyohimalaya nepalensis Song &
Liang, gen. & sp. nov. which is described and illustrated herein,
Orthopagus lunulifer Uhler, 1897, Raivuna sp., and Tenguna
medogensis Song & Liang, 2007. An identification key to the species of
Dictyopharidae currently known from Nepal is provided. The dictyopharid fauna of
the country remains poorly studied and further efforts are required to discover
its real diversity.
