Midoria Kato Midoria Kato, 1931: 439. Type species: Midoria capitata Kato, 1931. Diagnosis. Similar to Thlasia but smaller, with head less strongly produced and aedeagus shaft compressed, with one or two pairs of moderately long processes subapically on posteroventral surface. Description. Body small, length about 6.0���8.0 mm, usually brown or light brown. Head foliaceous, anterior margin rimlike, slightly wider than or equal to greatest width of pronotum. Median length of vertex shorter than width between eyes. Pronotum broad, often with irregular patches or spots; scutellum nearly triangular. Forewing usually with brown tubercles or spots and with additional cross veins in corium beyond outer apical cell. Male pygophore slightly longer than high, with long ventrolateral processes, ventral margin rather expanded. Aedeagus shaft compressed, with one or two pairs of moderately long processes subapically on posteroventral surface. Connective T-shaped in ventral view. Paramere elongated with recurved apex and slender anterior portion. Notes.

Midoria lamellata sp. nov. Figs. 19 ���24,26 Description. Color and external features as in generic description. Male genitalia: Paramere long, anterior portion longer and more slender than caudal portion, caudal portion somewhat robust, with apex strongly recurved medioventrally. Connective T-shaped with high dorsomedial keel. Aedeagus shaft laterally compressed, with a flat moderately process arising from each side of posterior margin basally (Figs. 19���21). Pygofer oblong, with a long posterior process from ventral margin (Fig. 25). Measurement. Length (including tegmen): 3, 6.9 mm. Type Material. Holotype 3, CHINA: Guizhou, Xishui, 29 May 2000, coll. Zizhong Li. (GUGC). Remarks. This species is similar to Midoria funebris (Jacobi), but can be distinguished by the shape of the connective or the shape of the aedeagal shaft in dorsal view and the shape of the aedeagal ventrosubapical processes (Figs. 8, 21). Etymology. The species name is derived from the Latin words lamella (flat, slice), indicating the shape of the aedeagal shaft processes., Published as part of Li, Yujian & Li, Zizhong, 2010, A taxonomic study of the genus Midoria Kato (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae: Ledrinae), with descriptions of two new species from China, pp. 63-68 in Zootaxa 2451 on page 67, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.195213

Midoria huapingensis sp. nov. Figs. 14 –18,25 Description. Color and external features as in generic description. Male genitalia: Paramere very long, anterior portion shorter and more slender than caudal portion, caudal apex medioventrally recurved. Connective approximately cross-shaped with high dorsomedial keel. Aedeagus shaft laterally compressed, with two pairs of moderately short, parallel processes originating medioventrally, the apex is recurved dorsally and then split apically into 2 tiny processes (Figs. 16, 17). Pygofer approximately orbicular, with a long process originating on each side from ventral margin (Fig. 15). Measurement. Length (including tegmen): 3, 6.5 mm. Type Material. Holotype 3, CHINA: Guangxi, Huaping, 5 June 1997, coll. Maofa Yang. (GUGC). Remarks. This species is similar to Midoria hei Cai & Jiang, but can be distinguished by the shape of the aedeagal shaft in ventral view and the shape of the aedeagal ventrosubapical processes. Etymology. The species name is derived from the place name where the specimen was collected.

Genus Midoria Kato Midoria Kato, 1931: 439. Type species. M. capitata Kato, 1931: 439, fig. 1, by original designation. Synonymy. None. Description. Kato (1931): “Closely allied to Daimachus DIST, but differs as follows: —Vertex of head at base twice as broad as long, anteriorly obtusely pointed, the lateral margins truncate, base convexly sinuate, frons about as long as broad, somewhat prominent; ocelli placed middle of vertex, nearer to each other than to eyes and just on a line drawn through the anterior margin of eyes; pronotum convex, about twice as long as vertex, slightly broadened posteriorly; scutellum triangular, at base about as broad as long; posterior tibieae somewhat widened, outer edge neither expanded nor foliaceous, outwardly strongly spinose.” Species. [3]: annulata Cai & Jiang; capitata Kato; hei Cai & Jiang. Range. Taiwan (Koshun [Kankau]) Host plants. Oak (Quercus sp.). Material examined. None. Remarks. Kato’s remark that Midoria is closely allied to Daimachus (not available for examination) is probably misleading— Daimachus is currently placed in the Ulopinae (Oman et al. 1990). While ulopines and ledrines share many characters (reduced leg spinulation, crown sometimes produced or flattened, texture of the dorsum sometimes punctate), they are clearly distinct from one another. Kato’s characters (ocelli position, metathoracic tibia) and illustration for Midoria suggest it is a ledrine, perhaps proximate to Hangklipia or Parapetalocephala. The location of the type specimen for M. capitata is unknown., Published as part of Jones, Joshua R. & Deitz, Lewis L., 2009, Phylogeny and systematics of the leafhopper subfamily Ledrinae (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae) 2186, pp. 1-120 in Zootaxa 2186 (1) on pages 49-50, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.2186.1.1, http://zenodo.org/record/5311592, {"references":["Kato, M.
