Abstract
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.
