Abstract: Two new genera of the leafhopper tribe Erythroneurini, Hamata gen. nov. and
Levigata gen. nov., are established based on type species from Yunnan, China:
Hamata coralliformis sp. nov. and Levigata arborea sp. nov., respectively. Two
additional new species, Gladkara bifida sp. nov. from Yunnan and Thapaia
tibetensis sp. nov. from Tibet, are described and illustrated and amended
descriptions of their respective genera are provided. A new synonymy is
suggested: Elbelus tripunctatus Mahmood, 1967 = Elbelus melianus Kuoh, 1992,
syn. nov. Eleven species of nine erythroneurine genera are newly recorded from
China: Arboridia (Arboridia) kakogawana (Matsumura, 1932), A. (A.)
suputinkaensis (Vilbaste, 1968), Balanda kara Dworakowska, 1979, Dorycnia
vietnamica Dworakowska, 1979, Gambialoa (Gambialoa) borealis Dworakowska, 1981,
Gladkara albida Dworakowska, 1995, Seriana dentata Sohi & Mann, 1992, S.
malaica Dworakowska, 1978, Tautoneura mukla Dworakowska, 1981, Yakuza sumatrana
Dworakowska, 2002, and Ziczacella lyrifora (Dlabola, 1968). Additional faunistic
data and illustrations are provided for the following species from China:
Arboridia (Arboridia) agrillacea (Anufriev, 1969), A. (A.) lunula Song & Li,
2013, A. (A.) maculifrons (Vilbaste, 1968), A. (A.) suzukii (Matsumura, 1916),
