A new species, Krisna pampadumparaensis, is described from Pampadumpara, Kerala, India collected from Ficus exasperata. It is distinguished by its deeply transversely carinate vertex and without any anterior transverse black spot. Three prominent constrictions at the ventral lower margin of aedeagal shaft, hind margin of male eighth sternite medially slightly concave and its lateral angles slightly rounded are the other distinguishing characters. Aedeagus in caudal aspects with shallow concavity in the apical region, second pair of gonapophyses with a smooth area between basal and median teeth, margin between median and apical prominent teeth with denticles and margin beyond apical prominent teeth serrated up to tip, apex with undulated margin and ventral margin with subapical notch, make it distinct from K. varia Viraktamath with which it is closely related.

A new leafhopper species, Goniagnathus (Tropicognathus) keralaensis sp. nov., is described from Kerala, India with morphological description, illustrations and photographs. Aedeagal shaft convex at distal caudoventral margin and acute at apex with pair of small ventral subapical processes, pair of long subapical processes on posterior dorsal margin, gonopore large, and located apically on the ventral side, distinguishes it from G. (T.) punctifer (Walker) with which it is closely related. Notes are given for separating the same in a key. The type material is deposited in the National Pusa Collection, Division of Entomology, Indian Agricultural Research Institute, New Delhi, India (NPC).
