9545E558932DFFCA91365DCB5D8F770A.taxon	discussion	Remarks. The genus Grammacephalus was revised for the Afrotropical region by Linnavuori (1978), who described three new species and erected two new combinations. Later, two species were moved into the genus and one new species was added by Viraktamath (1981) and another by Viraktamath and Anantha Murthy (1999), all from the Indian subcontinent. The new species described below represents the first record of the genus from China and only the second Asian record outside of the Indian subcontinent; an undetermined female specimen from The Philippines was recorded by Webb & Godoy (1993). Hosts. Species of Grammacephalus have been collected on species of Acacia (Leguminosae) and Zizyphus (Rhamnaceae) (Viraktamath, 1981), and the new species on Dodoneae viscosa (L.) (Sapindaceae)	en	Dai, Wu, Zhang, Yalin, Viraktamath, C. A., Webb, M. D. (2006): Two new Asian Scaphytopiini leafhoppers (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae: Deltocephalinae) with description of a new genus.

9545E558932EFFCF91365CFE5D007192.taxon	description	Vertex brown with a stripe along midline slightly widened at apex, a shorter longitudinal stripe on each side of midline over basal half, and a stripe on each side of lateral margin, ochraceous; face creamy white with narrow brown band along anterior margin. Pronotum brown with pale roundish irregular spots. Scutellum brown with pale markings comprising two short lateral spots, a pair of lateral stripes and a median stripe. Fore wing densely speckled with brown; costal margin whitish­yellow with dark brown margin. Head strongly produced. Crown nearly flat, medial length almost one and one half times length of greatest width between eyes; ocelli near lateral margins of crown, separated from eye by distance less than their own diameter. Frontoclypeus basally widened, approximately three times as long as wide near clypellus. Clypellus strongly constricted basally and expanded apically, roundly produced at apex. Genae expanded beyond eyes and visible in dorsal view. Pronotum wider than head including eyes, anterior margin roundly produced and posterior margin slightly concave. Scutellum almost as long as head, transverse depression distinct, curved, and depressed. Tegmen long and narrow, about four times as long as wide, appendix well developed; inner anteapical cell open basally, outer anteapical cell triangular, central anteapical cell about twice as long as outer. Male genitalia: Pygophore with side truncate posteriorly, with several macrosetae posteriorly including a tuft of setae at posterior margin, caudoventral margin with a well sclerotized process, branched at apex. Subgenital plate long, lateral margin slightly incurved at mid­length, with a uniseriate row of macrosetae ventrally from base to apex, apical margin rounded. Style apical process elongate, curved laterally and truncate at apex; lateral lobe well developed with a group of small setae. Connective U­shaped with arms well developed. Aedeagus reflexed basally and apical half extending caudad, narrowed gradually to apex, with a pair of apical appendages curved dorsally; gonopore apical on ventral surface.

9545E558932EFFCF91365CFE5D007192.taxon	discussion	Remarks: This species resembles Grammacephalus rahmani (Pruthi) externally but can be distinguished from the latter by: 1) Pygofer side with a two­branched process at caudoventral margin; 2) aedeagus reflexed basally and apical half extending caudad, with a pair of appendages curved dorsally. The new species is also very similar to G. pallidus Linnavuori in the shape of the aedeagus, but differs from the latter by: 1) Pygofer process branched at apex; 2) aedeagus with a pair of appendages curved dorsally.	en	Dai, Wu, Zhang, Yalin, Viraktamath, C.

9545E558932EFFCF91365CFE5D007192.taxon	etymology	Etymology. This new species is named for its branched process at the caudoventral margin of the male pygofer.	en	Dai, Wu, Zhang, Yalin, Viraktamath, C. A., Webb, M. D.

9545E5589328FFCD91365B2E5D09737A.taxon	discussion	Remarks: In the key to genera of Scaphytopiini of the Indian subcontinent by Viraktamath and Anantha Murthy (1999), Sikhamani keys out to Sudhamruta Viraktamath and Anantha Murthy. It differs from Sudhamrua in having cylindrical apophysis of style, well developed preatrium, and basal processes to the aedeagal shaft, and arcuate arms of the connective.	en	Dai, Wu, Zhang, Yalin, Viraktamath, C.

9545E558932AFFCD91365E865E2B77C5.taxon	discussion	Remarks. Externally S. delicatula resembles Thryaksha recurvatus Viraktamath & Anantha Murthy, but differs in the pronotal coloration and in the structure of male genitalia. Although there is considerable variation in the male genitalia among the specimens examined, all are identical externally and are considered to belong to the same species.	en	Dai, Wu, Zhang, Yalin, Viraktamath, C.
