Abstract
Two new genera of macropterous leafhoppers, tentatively included in the tribe Bonaspeiini Zahniser and Dietrich (2013) from the Fynbos biome of south-western parts of South Africa, are described. These are Retevolatus gen. nov. with type species R. flexiverpus sp. nov., R. semicurviverpus sp. nov. and R. subspiniverpus sp. nov. and Flavorubivolatus gen. nov. with type species F. glabriverpus sp. nov. and F. tensiverpus sp. nov. and F. curtiverpus sp. nov. Collection records and distribution modelling confirmed that species of both genera occur within a confined region of south-western parts of South Africa.
期刊介绍:
African Invertebrates is an international peer-reviewed, open-access journal that focuses primarily on the taxonomy, systematics, biogeography, and palaeontology of Afrotropical invertebrates, whether terrestrial, freshwater or marine. Aspects concerning biology, ecology, and conservation may also be considered where these relate to the primary focus areas. Papers dealing solely with biology, ecology, physiology, pests and pest control should be submitted elsewhere.
