Taxonomic And Phylogenetic Studies On The Subfamily Idiocerinae From China (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae)

The present dissertation mainly deals with the morphology, taxonomy, phylogenetic analysis and faunal analysis of the Chinese Idiocerinae. Totally 4 tribes, 21 genera and 82 species are treated in the taxonomic part, of wich 2 tribes, 1 genera and 30 species are new to science; 6 new combination are proposed as well, 5 genera and 3 species are reported as new records from China. The new taxa are listed as follows.New tribes: Amritodini trib. nov.Businini trib. nov.New genera: Serratulus gen. nov.New species: Busonia fumeus sp. nov.,Idiocerus fuscomaculatus sp. nov.,Idiocerus dingxiangus sp. nov., Liocratus Hi sp. nov. ,Liocratus multimaculatus sp. nov.,Liocratus serriaedeagus sp. nov., Metidiocerus mongliaensis. sp. nov. ,Metidiocerus xicangensis sp.nov.,flavifronus , Podulmorinus flavidus sp. nov. , Podulmorinus canus sp. nov. , Podulmorinus wangae sp. nov., Podulmorinus nigrimaculatus sp. nov. , Podulmorinus curvatus sp. nov. ,Podulmorinus yichunensis sp. nov., Podulmorinus disexpansus sp. nov. , Podulmorinus guiyangensis sp. nov.,Podulmorinus liboensis sp. nov.,Populicerus flavoclyeatus sp.nov. , Populicerus transvittatus sp.nov. ,Populicerus fuscipennatus sp.nov. , Rhytidodus furvimaculatus sp.nov.,Rhytidodus nigritellus sp.nov.,Tautocerus serristyleus sp.nov., Tremulicerus curvicalva sp. nov.,Serratulus curvataedeagus sp. nov.,Serratulus emeiensis sp. nov. ,Idioscopus citricolor sp. nov.,Idioscopus bimaculatus sp. nov.,Idioscopus longlingensie sp. nov.New combination: Podulmorinus nigritus (Kuoh et Fang), n. comb., Podulmorinus dilatatus (Kuoh et Fang), n. comb., Podulmorinus amplificatus (Kuoh et Fang), n.comb., Podulmorinus constrictus (Kuoh et Fang) , n. comb., Podulmorinus destitutus (Cai et Shen) , n. comb., Serratulus wolongus (Kuoh), n. comb..New records genera: Metidiocerus Ossiannilsson rec. nov., Parocerus Vilbaste rec. nov., Busonia Distant rec. nov., Rhytidodus Fieber rec. nov., Tremulicerus Dlabola rec. nov..New records species: Parocerus laurifoliae (Vilbaste) rec. nov., Tautocerus dworakowskae Anufriev rec. nov., Populicerus orientalis Isaev rec. nov.Phylongenetic analysis of 21genera of Idiocerinae based on male specimens and with the tribe Empoascini as the outgroup. was performed by using POPU4.0, MrBayes3.0 and Henning86(version 1.5) program. The results show that Idiocerinae can be divided into 4parts, Megipocerini Isaev, Busonini trib. nov., Idiocerini Beker, and Amritodini trib. nov.,.The phylogenetic tree of this subfamily Idiocerinae resulted from the data combined...
