Abstract

Three tribes of Nirvaninae, namely, Balbillini (two genera and three species), Nirvanini (five genera and 26 species), and Occinirvanini (one genus and one species), occur on the Indian suncontinent. The tribes, genera, and species are redescribed, illustrated, and keyed. New taxa recognized are Balbillus indicus n. sp. (India: Kerala), Stenotortor subhimalaya n. sp. (India: West Bengal), Kana bispinosa n. sp. (India: Tamil Nadu), K. nigropicta n. sp. (India: Kerala), Sophonia bakeri n. sp. (India: Karnataka, Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Uttar Pradesh; Nepal), S. bifida n. sp. (India: West Bengal), S. complexa n. sp. (India: Meghalaya), S. complicata n. sp. (India: Mizoram, Meghalaya), S. Keralica n. sp. (India: Kerala), Nirvana peculiaris n. sp. (India: Mizoram, Meghalaya), and N. striata n. sp. (India: Werst Bengal, Uttar Pradesh, Himachal Pradesh). The genus Quercinirvana Ahmed & Mahmood (type species: Q. Longicephala Ahmed & Mahmood) is treated as a junior synonym of Sophonia Walker. Kana signata Distant and Nirvana greeni Distant are suppressed as junior synonyms K. illuminata and N. linealis , respectively, and are transferred to Sophonia . Three other species transferred to Sophonia are Kana modesta Distant, Quercinirvana longicephala Ahmed & Mahood, and Nirvana insignis Distant. The relationship among various genera are dicussed briefly. The genera Crispina Distant and Mohunia Distant are exluded from Nirvaninae.

标题印度次大陆耳蝉科的订正(同翅目:耳蝉科)

Nirvaninae 的三个部落，即 Balbillini（2 属 3 种）、Nirvanini（5 属 26 种）和 Occinirvanini（1 属 1 种），出现在印度太阳洲。对这些部落、属和种进行了重新描述，并绘制了插图和检索表。印度：喀拉拉邦）、Stenotortor subhimalaya n. sp.（印度：西孟加拉邦）、Kana bispinosa n. sp.（印度：泰米尔纳德邦）、K. nigropicta n. sp.（印度：喀拉拉邦）、Sophonia bakeri n. sp.（印度：卡纳塔克邦、喀拉拉邦、泰米尔纳德邦、北方邦；尼泊尔）、S.complexa n. sp.（印度：梅加拉亚），S. complicata n. sp.（印度：米佐拉姆，梅加拉亚），S. Keralica n. sp.（印度：喀拉拉邦），Nirvana peculiaris n. sp.（印度：米佐拉姆，梅加拉亚），以及 N. striata n. sp.（印度：孟加拉西部，北方邦，喜马偕尔邦）。Quercinirvana Ahmed & Mahmood（模式种：Q. Longicephala Ahmed & Mahmood）被视为 Sophonia Walker 的低等异名。Kana signata Distant 和 Nirvana greeni Distant 分别作为 K. illuminata 和 N. linealis 的初级异名被压制，并转入 Sophonia。另外 3 个转入 Sophonia 的种是 Kana modesta Distant、Quercinirvana longicephala Ahmed & Mahood 和 Nirvana insignis Distant。本文简要讨论了各属之间的关系。Crispina Distant 属和 Mohunia Distant 属被排除在 Nirvaninae 之外。
