Type species.

Thamnotettix bambusae Matsumura, 1914, by original designation.

Diagnosis.

This genus can be differentiated from other genera of Athysanini by the follow characters: relatively elongate leafhoppers with crown slightly longer medially than next to eyes; male pygofer side elongate, with one or two well sclerotized processes on ventral margin; subgenital plate usually elongate, triangular; aedeagus with basal apodeme usually present, shaft with or without small distal processes; gonopore apical or apical on ventral surface.

Description.

Body elongate. Head including eyes subequal to or slightly wider than pronotum ( Figs 1 , 21 , 24 , 27 , 30 , 33 ). Crown with anterior margin roundly produced anteriorly, distinctly shorter medially than width between eyes ( Figs 1 , 21 , 24 , 27 , 30 , 33 ). Transition of crown to face rounded ( Figs 5 , 22 , 25 , 28 , 31 , 34 ); ocellus situated on or near frontal lateral margin of crown, less than 1/3 distant from eye to crown apex ( Figs 1 , 21 , 24 , 27 , 30 , 33 ). Clypellus widening apically, relatively flat ( Figs 6 , 23 , 26 , 29 , 32 , 35 ). Pronotum with anterior margin strongly and roundly produced, posterior margin slightly concave. Scutellum subequal to or slightly shorter than pronotum ( Figs 1 , 4 , 22 , 25 , 28 , 31 , 34 ). Forewing elongate and rounded apically, considerably longer than abdomen, with four apical cells; appendix well developed ( Figs 1-3 , 21 , 22 , 24 , 25 , 27 , 28 , 30 , 31 , 33 , 34 ).

Male genitalia with pygofer elongate in profile, with one or two sclerotized processes on ventral margin or ventral margin dentate; several macrosetae posteriorly ( Figs 7 , 8 , 36 , 37 , 40 , 41 , 44 , 45 , 48 , 49 ). Valve narrowly triangular, subequal to or shorter than length of subgenital plate ( Fig. 15 ). Subgenital plate elongate, triangular, a uniseriate row of macrosetae along ventrolateral margin ( Fig. 15 ). Connective Y-shaped, shaft subequal to or distinctly longer than arms ( Fig. 13 ). Styles elongate, apical process short to long, tapered to acute apex; lateral lobe weakly or well developed, with a few fine setae ( Figs 12 , 14 ). Aedeagus with basal apodeme usually present, shaft elongate, cylindrical, with or without small process near apex, gonopore small, apical or apical on ventral surface; with short preatrium sometimes present ( Figs 9-11 , 38 , 39 , 42 , 43 , 46 , 47 , 50 , 51 ).

Distribution.

China; Japan; Russia.
