E8459174131E775E87D0F9E2C06EF947.taxon	etymology	Etymology. The specific epithet comes from the Latin adjective “ histrionicus ” (= acting, pertaining to actors), referring to the checkered multicoloured habitus of the adults of the new species (especially when alive, Fig. 62), humpbacked appearance due to the strongly convex clavus, and agility, features reminding of the Harlequin character from the 16 – 17 th century Italian Comedia dell’arte theatre plays.	en	Stroiński, Adam, Malenovský, Igor, Świerczewski, Dariusz (2018): Socoflata gen. nov., described for two new planthopper species from the mountains in Socotra island (Hemiptera: Fulgoromorpha: Flatidae).

E8459174131E775E87D0F9E2C06EF947.taxon	distribution	Distribution. So far only recorded from the Hagher mountains in central Socotra. Compared to S. aurolineata sp. nov., its distribution might be more restricted as it was collected only at altitudes above 1300 m a. s. l. Habitat and host plants. On the peaks of the Hagher mountains, S. histrionica sp. nov. was syntopic in the same habitats with S. aurolineata sp. nov. and also seemed to share the same host plants. It was locally abundant in the montane evergreen woodland and dwarf shrub communities (Figs 63 – 67), especially on low shrubs (Hypericum scopulorum, Leucas hagghierensis, and Euryops arabicus), which are likely hosts.	en	Stroiński, Adam, Malenovský, Igor, Świerczewski, Dariusz (2018): Socoflata gen. nov., described for two new planthopper species from the mountains in Socotra island (Hemiptera: Fulgoromorpha: Flatidae).

The specific epithet is a combination derived from the Latin noun “ aurum ” (= gold) and the adjective “ lineatus ” (= lined, striped), referring to the characteristic orange-yellow coloration of the anal cell along the postclaval margin of the tegmen.	en	Stroiński, Adam, Malenovský, Igor, Świerczewski, Dariusz (2018): Socoflata gen. nov., described for two new planthopper species from the mountains in Socotra island (Hemiptera: Fulgoromorpha: Flatidae).

E8459174131F775A87D0F909C0D8FEFB.taxon	distribution	Distribution. So far only recorded from the central part of Socotra where it is largely restricted to the Hagher mountains and the Dixam plateau. The species is especially abundant at altitudes above 1100 m a. s. l., although there are also a few records from mid-elevation plateaus. Habitat and host plants. Socoflata aurolineata sp. nov. is one of the dominant planthopper species in the montane evergreen woodland and dwarf shrub communities on the high granite peaks in Socotra (the Leucas hagghierensis — Pittosporum viridiflorum and Helichrysum — Hypericum communities sensu Brown & Mies 2012, the latter corresponding to the Coelocarpum haggierensis — Hypericum scopulorum shrubland of De Sanctis et al. 2013; Figs 63, 64). Less abundantly, it also occurs in lower montane shrubland dominated by Cephalocroton socotranus and Croton sulcifructus. The new species is probably polyphagous on low shrubs: most specimens (including nymphs) were swept from Hypericum scopulorum (Hypericaceae; Figs 65, 66), Leucas hagghierensis (Lamiaceae, Fig. 67), and Euryops arabicus (Asteraceae), which are probably host plants.	en	Stroiński, Adam, Malenovský, Igor, Świerczewski, Dariusz (2018): Socoflata gen. nov., described for two new planthopper species from the mountains in Socotra island (Hemiptera: Fulgoromorpha: Flatidae).
