BC4687BBFFB8FF97798EFA6168E2F785.taxon	etymology	Etymology. The name of the new genus refers to its physiognomy which is very similar to the genus Pythamus Melichar externally.	en	Li, Yu-Jian, Li, Zi-Zhong (2011): Parapythamus, a new genus of Evacanthinae (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae) from China.

BC4687BBFFB8FF97798EFA6168E2F785.taxon	description	Description. Body medium sized. Head with apex arcuately produced, lateral margins strongly carinate, with median keel anterad of round elevated structure near midlength, submarginal carina mesad of ocellus. Vertex about as long as wide or slightly shorter than wide, about as long as pronotum and longer than scutellum. Ocellus located at side of submarginal carina. Face including eyes longer than wide. Frontoclypeus broad and swollen at base, with median longitudinal carina strongly elevated, laterally obliquely striate; lora reaching slightly beyond midlength of clypellus. Forewing veins slightly prominent, with R 1 a present; four apical cells present; crossvein m-cu 2 present and close to m-cu 1, forming small discal cell; appendix very narrow. Pronotum broad, wider than head. Scutellum triangular, with transverse depression distinct. Male pygofer without ventral process. Subgenital plate elongate; macrosetae irregularly distributed distally, uniseriate in basal half; with row of setae along outboard submargin. Aedeagal shaft somewhat slender, tubular, with pair of lateral flanges near apex, recurved dorsally; gonopore apical. Style slender, elongate, with footlike apex of apophysis having elongated lateral angle. Connective Y-shaped with median anterior lobe, stem longer than arms.	en	Li, Yu-Jian, Li, Zi-Zhong (2011): Parapythamus, a new genus of Evacanthinae (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae) from China.

BC4687BBFFB8FF97798EFA6168E2F785.taxon	distribution	Distribution. China (Guizhou).	en	Li, Yu-Jian, Li, Zi-Zhong (2011): Parapythamus, a new genus of Evacanthinae (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae) from China. Zootaxa 3004: 40-44, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.201601
BC4687BBFFB8FF97798EFA6168E2F785.taxon	discussion	Remarks. The new genus is very similar to Pythamus Melichar externally, but may be distinguished from the latter by: 1) white markings of forewing scattered (Fig. 9), with R 1 a and small closed discal cell present; 2) male pygofer side without ventral process (Fig. 8); 3) vertex about as long as wide or slightly shorter than wide (Figs 1, 10), unlike the vertex of Pythamus which is distinctly longer than wide. The new genus is also similar to Cunedda, but has the vertex shorter than the pronotum (longer in Cunedda (Distant, 1918 )) and the aedeagal shaft more slen- der, tubular, and with a pair of lateral preapical flanges (Figs 4, 5). According to Viraktamath & Webb (2007), Pythamus has a ventral process on the male pygofer. Thus, the species Pythamus chiabaotawow Huang (Huang, 1992), P. punctatus Li & Zhang (Li & Zhang, 1993) and P. hyalipictatus Li & Wang (Li & Wang, 2006) are incorrectly placed in this genus. According to Ramakrishnan (1989), Cunedda also lacks a ventral process on the male pygofer. Because the species of Cudedda described by Li & Webb (1996) have a ventral process on male pygofer, they also should be placed elsewhere. We will treat these species in another paper.	en	Li, Yu-Jian, Li, Zi-Zhong (2011): Parapythamus, a new genus of Evacanthinae (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae) from China.

BC4687BBFFB9FF97798EFD176ABAF325.taxon	description	Description. General coloration. Head, pronotum and scutellum chocolate brown, with three black longitudinal stripes on pronotum and scutellum. White markings present on anterior part of vertex, behind ocelli and on posterior half of scutellum. Eyes dark, ocelli brown-yellow and near translucent. Face dark brown medially, white lateral area including lora, gena, and area above antennal pit. Forewings gray brown with some white translucent spots (Fig. 9), veins in apical half yellow. Hindwings dark gray. Legs gray white. Head and thorax. Vertex (Figs 1, 10) about as long as pronotum and longer than scutellum. Distance between ocellus and eyes (Figs 1, 10) shorter than ocellus and crown peak. Clypellus (Figs 2 – 3, 11) broad and swollen at base. Pronotum (Figs 1, 10) with many fine horizontal striations, without median carina. Male genitalia. Male pygofer (Fig. 8) with middle of ventral margin pellucid. Aedeagus (Figs 4 – 5) in lateral view with ventral margin bent at 90 degrees near base, distal two thirds straight, preapical flanges rounded, pair of falcate lateral processes present at apex, apex acute. Connective (Figs 4 – 5) with median anterior lobe short. Style (Fig. 6) slender, somewhat elongate, basal articulating arm elongate, foot-like apex of apophysis with elongated lateral angle and blunt apex. Other characteristics as shown in Figs 4 – 8. Measurement. Body length (including tegmen): 3, 6.5 – 7.0 mm.	en	Li, Yu-Jian, Li, Zi-Zhong (2011): Parapythamus, a new genus of Evacanthinae (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae) from China.
