The planthopper genus Neodurium Fennah is reviewed and N. fennahi Chang & Chen, sp. n. (Hemiptera: Fulgoromorpha: Issidae) from China (Yunnan), is described and illustrated. A checklist of the species of Neodurium is given and a key provided for their separation. The female genitalia of Neodurium species are described for the first time.

Small-sized issids. Vertex pentagonal, anterior margin obtuse-angled convex, posterior angulately excavate, marginal carinae straight. Pronotum as long as vertex, with small pit between median carina and lateral carina. Mesonotum shorter than vertex and pronotum together, with median cargin obscure. Forewings oval, with claval suture absent or obscure, M simple. Hind wings incised on the margin into two lobes, anal lobe absent or excessively reduced, veins simple. Fore- and mesofemora flattened; hind tibia with a small sub-basal spine and two distinct lateral spines.

This species was described after the holotype and paratypes [three males and four females] from China (Guizhou), deposited in IEGU.
Compared with the structure of male genitalia of this genus, we found that in the structure of the male genitalia N. hamatum differs significantly from other species of the genus by the following characters: genital styles without a hook-like process on the dorsal margin in lateral view (Fig.
However, how much value does the female genitalia have in Parahiraciini?
