Zhang, Pei & Chen, Xiang-Sheng, 2013, Taxonomic study on the planthopper genus Macrocixius Matsumura (Hemiptera: Fulgoromorpha: Cixiidae) with descriptions of two new species from China, Zootaxa 3646 (3), pp. 277-288 : 278

Key to species of the genus Macrocixius Matsumura

1. Flagellum of aedeagus with one spine ( Fig. 50 )............................................. M. unispinus . sp. nov.

- Flagellum of aedeagus with more than one spine............................................................. 2

2. Flagellum of aedeagus with three spines ( Fig. 24 ).................................................... M. grossus

- Flagellum of aedeagus with two spines ( Figs 11 , 37 ).......................................................... 3

3. Forewing with numerous dark markings ( Figs 3 , 53, 57 ); the shortest spine on right side of aedeagus awl-shaped ( Fig. 10 )............................................................................................. M. giganteus

- Forewing with fewer dark markings ( Figs 29 , 55, 59 ); the shortest spine on right side of aedeagus generally straight, with base inflated and the rest distally tapering ( Fig. 36 )........................................... M. rarimaculatus sp. nov.
