Abstract
ABSTRACT: The holotype of Delphacodes guianensis Muir, a delphacid planthopper (Hemiptera: Fulgoroidea: Delphacidae) currently nominally in the polyphyletic genus Delphacodes Fieber, was examined and found to bear lateral teeth on the hind basitarsus, a synapomorphy of the genus Nilaparvata Distant. We determined that Delphacodes guianensis is a senior synonym of Nilaparvata serrata Caldwell. Here we move this species into Nilaparvata to provide the new combination Nilaparvata guianensis (Muir) and give Nilaparvata serrata as a new junior synonym.
期刊介绍:
Contributions are accepted on any of the aspects of systematics and taxonomy of insects. This includes: taxonomic revisions, phylogenetics, biogeography and faunistics, and descriptive morphology of insects. Taxonomic papers describing single species are acceptable if such a study is sufficiently justified, however, comprehensive studies that provide a comparative, integrated study of insect systematics and taxonomy will get priority.
