446D8E3848A122CD02B0BFDB01B8DC98.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. Body robust, stramineous with dark markings on intracarinal region of face (anterior to the Y-shaped carina of vertex), including areolet, genae, and usually also lateral portions of abdominal terga. Body not compressed (unlike Prokelisia). Head, including compound eyes, slightly larger than pronotum, vertex in dorsal view weakly projecting between eyes. Carinae of head strong and conspicuous, except median carina of vertex; median carina of frons forked on fastigium near dorsal margin of compound eye. Frons with lateral margins subparallel, narrowed between eyes. Lateral carinae of pronotum diverging, not reaching posterior margin; median carina reaching hind margin at shallow notch. Lateral carinae of mesonotum diverging, reaching posterior margin, median carina becoming obsolete in scutellum. Forewings of brachypter clear, subtruncate, leaving several tergites exposed. Apex of hind tibiae bearing 7 (3 + 4) spines, with 5 (2 + 3) on basitarsus and 4 on second tarsomere. Calcar with 18 - 31 teeth (x = 24.0, n = 26). Male terminalia with pygofer rather quadrate in lateral view, dorsocaudal margin of pygofer weakly projecting. Opening of pygofer broad, wider than long, with lateral margins of opening carinae, ventral margin smoothly rounded. Diaphragm strong and conspicuous, dorsal margin broadly U-shaped, bearing median, bilobed armature subtending the aedeagus, much wider than tall. Parameres exerted through broad opening in diaphragm; parameres strongly flattened, sides subparallel, strongly diverging, basal and apical angles weakly developed. Aedeagus widest in basal third, then abruptly narrowed with distal 2 / 3 strongly downcurved; suspensorium U-shaped, weakly apparent. Segment 10 broad, bearing strongly developed pair of weakly sinuate processes on caudal margins near lateral margins. Segment 11 about 2 / 3 height of segment 10. Macropters darker than brachypters, with abdomen and lateral portion of mesonotum more strongly embrowned. Macropterous wings are clear (no dark marking at apex of clavus), exceeding length of abdomen nearly by length of abdomen.	en	Bartlett, Charles R., Webb, Mick D.

446D8E3848A122CD02B0BFDB01B8DC98.taxon	etymology	Etymology. The generic name is an arbitrary combination of letters formed by combining a truncation of Spartina (the host grass genus) with - delphax, a common termination used in delphacids. The name is to be treated as masculine (Delphax was affirmed as masculine by ICZN 1961).	en	Bartlett, Charles R., Webb, Mick D.

Slightly larger than Spartidelphax detectus, with vertex longer than wide (l: w 1.34 - 1.48), aedeagus with a pair of rows of fine ventral serrulations in distal third; base less abruptly narrowed than in Spartidelphax detectus. Parameres in widest view subtly more narrowed on outer angle than Spartidelphax detectus, outer angle slightly curled. Dimensions. Male brachypter: body length 2.33 mm (2.18 - 2.57, n = 6), vertex l: w (1.48, n = 9); male macropter: body Length 3.79 (including wings, 3.62 - 3.96, n = 6), vertex l: w (1.44, n = 6). Female brachypter: body length 3.06 (2.87 - 3.27, n = 6), vertex l: w (1.34, n = 6); female macropter: body length 4.07 mm (3.62 - 4.45, n = 4), vertex l: w (1.39, n = 5). Count of calcar teeth 25 (21 - 31, n = 10).	en	Bartlett, Charles R., Webb, Mick D. (2014): The planthopper genus Spartidelphax, a new segregate of Nearctic Delphacodes (Hemiptera, Delphacidae).
