Two new species of the genus Tenguna Matsumura, 1910, Tenguna kuankuoshuiensis sp. n., Tenguna plurijuga sp. n., collected from China, are described and illustrated, photographs of the new species are provided together. A key is given to identify all the known species of Tenguna.
Dictyopharidae , distribution, new species, planthopper, taxonomy
The planthopper genus Tenguna was established by Matsumura in 1910 based on a single species, Tenguna watanabei Matsumura, from Taiwan, China.
The morphological terminology and measurements used in this study follow
The following abbreviations are used in the text:
BL body length (from apex of cephalic process to tip of fore wings);
HL head length (from apex of cephalic process to base of eyes);
HW head width (including eyes);
FWL forewing length;

Tenguna
Matsumura, 1910: 104;
Tenguna watanabei Matsumura, 1910 (original designation).
Genus diagnostic characters: general color green or yellowish green (in death); vertex with median carina distinct and complete, lateral margins sub-parallel at base, slightly sinuate in front of eyes, then gradually narrowing to arrowhead at apex; pronotum with distinct median carina and two obscure lateral discal carinae, elevated only anteriorly; fore femur with one minute, short and blunt spine near apex; aedeagus with a pair of processes apically and phallobase with pairs of membranous lobes apically.
Southern China (Guizhou, Hubei, Sichuan, Taiwan, Xizang).
1 | Vertex narrow and long, ratio of length to width is greater than 2.4 | 2 |
– | Vertex broad and short, ratio of length to width is not greater than 2.4 | 3 |
2 | Pygofer posterior margin with distinct, posteriorly directed process near apex in lateral view; phallobase with 2 pairs of membranous lobes at apex | Tenguna medogensis |
– | Pygofer posterior margin with not distinct, posteriorly directed process near apex in lateral view (Fig. |
Tenguna kuankuoshuiensis sp. n. |
3 | Aedeagus with 1 pair of equally long processes apically, processes with apex acute, sclerotized and pigmented. Phallobase sclerotized and pigmented at base, with 3 pairs of membranous lobes at apex | Tenguna watanabei |
– | Aedeagus (Figs |
Tenguna plurijuga sp. n. |
♂, BL: 13.1–14.1 mm; HL: 1.7–1.8 mm; HW: 1.5–1.6 mm; FWL: 9.9–10.3 mm. ♀, BL: 15.2–16.3 mm; HL: 1.8–1.9 mm; HW: 1.6–1.8 mm; FWL: 12.3–12.9 mm.
This species is similar to Tenguna medogensis, but can be distinguished from phallobase. The former with three pairs of membranous lobes at apex, the latter with two pairs of membranous lobes at apex.
General color green; carinae on cephalic process, frons, pronotum and mesonotum, and parts of veins on forewings, dark green; rostrum with extreme apex blackish; hind tibia with lateral and apex black-tipped spines .

Holotype ♂, China, Guizhou, Kuankuoshui, Qing gang tang hui long county. 17.VIII. 2010, Lihu. Paratypes, 1♂2♀♀, same to Holotype; 9♂♂5♀♀, China, Guizhou, Fanjing mountain, 27.VII. 2001, Lizizhong.
This new species is named for the holotype occurrence in “Kuankuoshui”, Guizhou province in southwestern China.
♂, BL: 14.9 mm; HL: 2.1 mm; HW: 1.6 mm; FWL: 11.4 mm. ♀, BL: 15.2–16.7 mm; HL: 2.2–2.5 mm; HW: 1.6–1.8 mm; FWL: 11.6–12.3 mm.
This species can be distinguished from other species from aedeagus and phallobase. The aedeagus with pair of unequal long processes apically; phallobase with numerous membranous lobes at apex.
General color and external characters as the Tenguna kuankuoshuiensis sp. n.

Holotype ♂, China, Guizhou, Institute of Entomology. XII. 2008, Light trap, Zhangyubo. Paratypes, 6♀♀, data same as holotype.
This new species is named for the Greek word “plurijuga” referring to aedeagus with numerous membranous lobes at apex.
The discovery of two new species broadens our knowledge of the morphology and biogeography of the genus. The two new species both occur in Guizhou, China. This may be due to the climate of Guizhou, warm and humid, subtropical humid monsoon, and minimal temperature changes. All described species are distributed in the Palearctic and Oriental regions.
