Dai, Wu & Zhang, Yalin, 2010, Review of the Old World leafhopper genus Mimotettix Matsumura (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae: Deltocephalinae) with description of new species, Zootaxa 2651, pp. 1-26 : 3-4

Key to species of the genus Mimotettix based on male adults

[Note: Male genitalia, either in part or complete are unknown for Mimotettix facialis (Distant) and Mimotettix hieroglyphicus (Distant) respectively, and these two species are therefore omitted from the key]
