| Abstract: | The leafhopper genus Pseupalus Remane & Asche (Deltocephalinae: Paralimnini) is synonymized with Hengchunia Vilbaste syn. n. Four new species are described: H. helleri sp. n. from Cameroun and Zaire, H. indica sp. n. from India, H. pakistanica sp. n. from Pakistan and H. javana sp. n. from Indonesia: Java. Hengchunia now contains nine species which are probably all associated with the grass genus Imperata. The zoogeographical distribution of the species and their potential phylogenetic relationships are briefly discussed. Additions and amendments to Webb & Heller's (1990) check-list of Afrotropical and Oriental Paralimnini are made and include Paralimnellus Emeljanov (1972), oldest available name for Bubulcus Dlabola (1961) (junior homonym of Bubulcus Bonaparte 1854, Aves) and Paralimnellus vittata (Matsumura) comb. n. from Henschia. |
