Abstract

Two new species of the leafhopper genus Idioscopus Baker are described from China: Idioscopus bihamulussp. nov. and I. ventrispinussp. nov., the latter recorded on a species of Myrica L. (Myricaceae) as its host plant. A key and checklist to species of the genus from China are provided and Idioscopus taiwanus Huang & Maldonado-Capriles, 1992 is placed as a junior synonym of Idioscopus clypealis (Lethierry, 1889), syn. nov.
