Four groundnut genotypes were grown in a randomized block design across a drought-stress gradient to determine the influence of this factor on insect distribution in the 1985-86 post-rainy season near Hyderabad, in peninsular India. The leaf-mined Aproaerema modicella (Deventer) was most abundant on the most stressed plants. The cicadellid Empoasca kerri Pruthi had the reverse distribution. The thrips Frankiniella schultzei (Trybom) and Scirtothrips dorsalis Hood were at first densest where drought stress was least. Their distribution subsequently reversed and, as the condition of their hosts worsened, they again became most abundant at the wetter end of the gradient. Bud necrosis disease caused most mortality where drought stress was highest. A subsidiary experiment indicated that the intensity of overhead irrigation did not influence the density of A. modicella. There were marked genotype effects: JL 24 carried the highest density of insects and was most susceptible to bud necrosis disease; NC Ac 343 had the lowest leafminer and cicadellid populations. M 13 and ICGS 11 had intermediate characteristics.

The Oriental leafhopper genus Parallygus Melichar is revised and redescribed based on study of its type species, P. divaricatus Melichar, from Sri Lanka. Based on its paired aedeagal shafts, a feature of some other tribes, it is only tentatively retained in Athysanini. Three new species, Parallygus burmindicus Viraktamath \& Webb, sp. nov. (India: West Bengal, Meghalya; Myanmar: Mishmi Hills), P. jiuhuaensis Dai \& Zhang, sp. nov. (China: Anhui) and P. rameshi Viraktamath \& Webb, sp. nov. (India: West Bengal) are described and illustrated together with P. divaricatus Melichar and Parallygus guttatus Matsumura comb. reinstated described from Taiwan. The latter species is reinstated into its original genus Parallygus from Phlepsius and is also recorded from mainland China and India (new records). A key to species is also provided.

The leafhopper genus Scaphotettix Matsumura is redescribed, and three new species are described and illustrated: S. striatus Dai and Zhang, sp. nov. from Java (on bamboo) and China; S. bispinosus Dai and Zhang, sp. nov from China; and S. pectinatus Dai and Zhang, sp. nov. from Vietnam. Most other species of Scaphotettix were re-examined and found to belong to a new genus also described herein, Scaphomonus Viraktamath, gen. nov.. The new genus is compared with the superficially similar Melanetettix Knight and Fletcher, Scaphodhara Viraktamath and Mohan, and Scaphoideus Uhler and a new species, Scaphomonus vateriae Viraktamath, sp. nov. from India, is described and illustrated.
