Abstract Six new species of Neopsis from montane Atlantic forest and Cerrado of Brazil (Minas Gerais) and montane Amazon forest of Peru are described and illustrated. Neopsis amazonica Hamilton is newly recorded from Amazonas State (Brazil) and its male is described and illustrated for the first time. The female terminalia of Neopsis robusta Linnavuori and Lonnia pallida (Linnavuori & DeLong) are also illustrated for the first time. A key to all eleven species of the genus is provided. Tribe Neopsini is newly placed in subfamily Tartessinae, a subfamily previously recorded only from the Australian and Indomalayan regions, based on morphological characters and phylogenetic evidence.

Abstract The following nomenclatorial changes are recorded in the African leafhopper genus Allophleps Bergroth, 1920 (Cicadellidae: Deltocephalinae, Athysaninae): Saudallygus Dlabola, 1979, a junior synonym of Allophleps, syn. nov.;, S. curvatus Dlabola, 1979 (the type species of Saudallygus), a junior synonym of A. elongata, syn. nov.; A. elongata (Melichar, 1912, Eutettix) comb. nov.; A. eques (Jacobi, 1910, Deltocephalus) comb. nov.; A. inspersa Bergroth, 1920, a junior synonym of A. eques, syn. nov. A new species, A. linnavuorii sp. nov., is established for specimens misidentified as A. inspersa by Viraktamath & Dash (2001); lectotypes are designated for Allophleps eques and A. inspersa and a key and figures are provided to distinguish males of the included taxa.

Abstract A new leafhopper, Odomas linnavuorii sp. nov. (Cicadellidae: Megophthalminae: Megophthalmini), is described based on a brachypterous female collected in the subalpine grassland in the highest part of the Mt Nimba massif, Guinea, West Africa. The new species has a highly derived head and wing structure and is densely covered with chalazal setae. As these features are unique both within the genus and tribe the morphology and the systematic placement of O. linnavuorii are discussed in the context of other ground-dwelling taxa of Membracoidea. In addition, the monotypic Afrotropical genus Coronophtus Van Stalle, 1983 is removed from Cicadellidae: Megophthalminae and synonymised with Listrophora Boulard, 1971 (Cicadellidae: Deltocephalinae: Chiasmini), resulting in one new combination, Listrophora cervus (Van Stalle, 1983), comb. nov.

Abstract The Oriental genus Protolepta Melichar is revised to include two species: P. turbata (the type species) and P. linnavuorii sp. nov., both from Sulawesi, Indonesia. Redescription is provided for P. turbata together with habitus photographs and detailed illustrations of the male genitalia for the first time. A key to the species of the genus and a distribution map are given.
