| Abstract: | The genus Scaphotettix Matsumura is redefined. Its relationship with Scaphoideus Uhler, with which it is often confused is discussed. Five new species namely, Scaphotettix agumbensis sp. nov. (from Karnataka: Agumbe, Bhagamandala), Scaphotettix arcuatus sp. nov. (from Tamil Nadu: Kodaikanal, Shembhaganur), Scaphotettix freytagi sp. nov. (from Kerala: Thekkadi; Karnataka: Jog Falls, Mudigere), Scaphotettix malnadicus sp. nov. (from Karnataka: Jog Falls) and Scaphotettix quadrifidus sp. nov. (from Kerala: Thekkadi) are described and illustrated. Scaphotettix redundans (Distant) comb. nov. and Scaphotettix indicus (Distant) comb. nov. earlier placed in the genus Scaphoidens are also redescribed, illustrated and lectotype designations are made. A key to species of Scaphotettix dealt with is also provided. |
