A new South American genus and eight new species of Hyalojassini (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae: Iassinae) with additional records of host plants

Abstract

Pinndorama gen. nov. is described based on eight new species: P. dianae sp. nov. from the states of Mato Grosso, Mato Grosso do Sul, Minas Gerais and Paraná, Brazil; P. guartela sp. nov. from Paraná, Brazil; P. matogrossensis sp. nov. from Mato Grosso, Brazil; P. melanocephala sp. nov. from Distrito Federal, Brazil, and Cuzco, Peru; P. paraguaia sp. nov. from Canindeyu, Paraguay; P. pitanga sp. nov. (type species) from Minas Gerais, Paraná and Rio de Janeiro, Brazil; P. ronurensis sp. nov. from Mato Grosso, Brazil; and P. sinopensis sp. nov. from Mato Grosso, Brazil. A discussion comparing the new genus with the related genera Gehundra, Grunchia and Maranata is provided as well as a key to males. Host plants are identified for Pinndorama pitanga sp. nov. and Pinndorama guartela sp. nov., and for four species of Selenomorphini: Pachyopsis fasciatus, Pachyopsis nigrifacis, Pachyopsis pallidus and Parapachyopsis tenebris. urn:lsid:zoobank.org:pub:692B7AB6-D981-4C03-8A46-72CA97999CD1
