Pronotum with sides fairly short; transversely striate. Scutellum about same length as pronotum. Forewing with four apical cells and three subapical cells, first subapical cell open. Forefemur with single AV 1 seta, intercalary row with about 9 ~ 11 setae, subapical AM 1 present, stout, but the anterior ventral margin bearing 3 ~ 4 stout setae. Foretibia dorsal seta formula 1 + 4; hind femur apical spines 2 + 2 + 1. Pygofer with one or two lateral processes. Valve approximately rectangular. Connective with stem very short, Y-shaped with arms converging apically. Aedeagus large with basal part (socle) narrow; basal apodeme elongate; shaft tubular and elongate with paired processes or flanges, gonopore apical on posterior surface.	en	Lu, Lin, Zhang, Yalin (2014): Taxonomy of the Oriental leafhopper genus Fistulatus (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae: Deltocephalinae), with description of a new species from China.

7B402D21FFE7DB33FF60FA6BFE28FE74.taxon	discussion	Remarks. It is difficult to distinguish this genus from related genera because coloration and head structure are very similar. However, the characteristics of the male genitalia are clearly different; generally the aedeagal shaft is tubular and elongate with paired processes or flanges and the pygofer has processes. Fistulatus resembles the genus Kutara Distant but differs in having male pygofer processes. Fistulatus is related to the genus Carvaka Distant but differ from the latter by aedeagus usually lacking apical paired processes. This genus is also similar to Bhatia Distant but can be differentiated from the latter by lacking aedeagal basal process and appendages between aedeagus and connective.	en	Lu, Lin, Zhang, Yalin (2014): Taxonomy of the Oriental leafhopper genus Fistulatus (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae: Deltocephalinae), with description of a new species from China.

7B402D21FFE6DB31FF60F9A3FF62FDF3.taxon	etymology	Etymology. The specific epithet “ quadrispinosus ” is derived from this species having four aedeagal processes.	en	Lu, Lin, Zhang, Yalin (2014): Taxonomy of the Oriental leafhopper genus Fistulatus (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae: Deltocephalinae), with description of a new species from China.

7B402D21FFE6DB31FF60F9A3FF62FDF3.taxon	discussion	Remarks. This species resembles F. luteolus based on the characters of the pygofer, but can be differentiated from the latter by the aedeagus having a pair of narrow processe in the middle. Also the species is similar to F. bidentatus, but the latter lacks ventral processes of the pygofer and the shape of the aedeagal processes is also different.	en	Lu, Lin, Zhang, Yalin (2014): Taxonomy of the Oriental leafhopper genus Fistulatus (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae: Deltocephalinae), with description of a new species from China.
