Review of the genus Pseudocoruncanius Meng, Qin et Wang, 2020 (Hemiptera: Fulgoromorpha: Issidae), with the description of a new species from Vietnam

Keywords: Issinae, key, morphology, new species, Sarimini, taxonomy

Abstract

Pseudocoruncanius Meng, Qin et Wang, 2020 (in Zhang et al. 2020) is placed in the tribe Sarimini and reviewed with its relationships discussed. Pseudocoruncanius nigrifrons sp. n. is described from Tam Dao forest in northern Vietnam, which is the first record of the genus from mainland Asia. A key to species of the genus Pseudocoruncanius is given.
