03DC8C1CAB24FF9EFF2FFE0EBE321038.taxon	discussion	Remarks. T. wangmoensis was described from Guizhou Province based on the holotype and paratypes and was placed in this genus according to the morphology of the subgenital plates and aedeagus. However, after re-examination of the type specimens, we found that both its external morphology and genital characters differ markedly from those of other species in the genus. Therefore, we suggest that this species should be transferred to another genus outside the tribe Idiocerini.	en	Li, Xiang, Zhou, Kaichen, Zhang, Bin (2026): A review of the idiocerine leafhopper genus Tautocerus Anufriev (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae), with description of a new species.
