Zhangolidia , gen. nov.

Type species. Olidiana polyspinata Zhang 1994:108

Description. Medium size, robust species. Length male 7.00- 8.20 mm., female unknown. General habitus similar to Olidiana . Aedeagus long, robust, inflated, tubular, serrate or toothed on middle of lateral margin, with long robust, subapical to apical process, process with numerous secondary setae or small teeth; pygofer with long caudodorsal process, glabrous; style with robust, moderately long apophysis; subgenital plate sparsely setose from sub apex to apex.

Etymology. The name is a combination of the patronymic name Zhang and suffix - olidia derived from the genus Coelidia . The gender is feminine.

Remarks. Zhangolidia is similar to Hiatusorus in some aedeagal features and is distinguished by the aedeagus which is inflated and has a robust apical spine lacking in Hiatusorus . The genus is named in honor of Yalin Zhang for his numerous contributions in the Cicadellidae of China. Two species are assigned to genus, 1 from China and 1 from Thailand. Both species were transferred from Olidiana .
