Cleotychini planthoppers from Perth region in Western Australia: The new genus Femotyche gen. nov., and more… (Hemiptera: Fulgoromorpha: Dictyopharidae)
Abstract
The new genus Femotyche gen. nov. is described to accommodate two new species from Western Australia: Femotyche kerryae sp. nov. from Perth area and Femotyche hortorum sp. nov. from York. Illustrations of male and female type specimens and a distribution map are provided. The male terminalia as well as the female terminalia, habitat, host plant and live specimens of the new species are illustrated when available. The tribe Cleotychini now contains two genera, the genus Cleotyche Emeljanov, 1997 with two subgenera and five species and the genus Femotyche gen. nov. with two species. Data are provided on an additional, undescribed genus from the same geographic area, recorded from two species known only from photographs.
