Md. Webb et C. Godoy, REVIEW OF THE LEAFHOPPER TRIBE SCAPHYTOPIINI (HOMOPTERA, CICADELLIDAE, DELTOCEPHALINAE) WITH A KEY TO GENERA, Journal of Natural History, 27(2), 1993, pp. 423-427
The leafhopper tribe Scaphytopiini is reviewed, and a key to genera gi
ven. The following taxonomic changes are made: Masiripius lugubris (Di
stant) comb. nov. (from Mahalana); Mahalana Distant, junior synonym of
Platymetopius Burmeister syn. nov. (Athysanini); Hododoecus bunyensis
Evans comb. nov. (from Stenometopius) (Stenometopiini). In addition,
the monotypic genus Nesothamnus Linnavuori is transferred from Athysan
ini to Scaphytopiini and its characters discussed.
