Abstract

The leafhopper genus Takama Dworakowska & Viraktamath, 1975 is considered a junior synonym of Matsumurina Dworakowska, 1972, with seven known species all transferred to the latter. Another new combination is proposed: Matsumurina macra (Kuoh, 1982) n. comb. Seven additional species: Matsumurina abbreviata, M. angusta, M. furcata, M. longa, M. longissima, M. qini and M. serriformis spp. nov. are newly described and illustrated. A key for identification of adult males of Matsumurina is provided.
