Abstract

The leafhopper genus Smyga Dworakowska (Typhlocybinae, Empoascini) is reviewed and a new species, S.brevipenis Webb & Xu, sp. nov. from Brunei and Malaysia, is described based on specimens previously identified as "aberrant specimens" of Smygadistincta Dworakowska. Images of the types of S.brevipenis and S.distincta are given for the first time. A checklist and key to known species of Smyga are also provided.
