Head acutely produced in dorsal and lateral view. Ocelli on anterior margin of crown. Frontoclypeus straight in profile, clypeal sulcus prominent.

Aedeagus with shaft relatively short and broad in lateral and posterior view, hinged at the base.</p><p>Distribution. Mexico; USA.</p><p>Remarks. This genus only includes the type species, Kinonia elongata . Emeljanov (1962) treated it as a junior synonym of Stirellus but Oman et al. (1990) retained Kinonia as a valid genus. Although it is similar to Stirellus, as delimited here, in most respects, it differs in having the aedeagus relatively broad and hinged at the base of the shaft, a trait characteristic of most Chiasmini Distant. Thus, further analysis may show that this genus may be more appropriately placed in the latter tribe. Nevertheless, Kinonia agrees with the current definition of Stenometopiini in other respects and phylogenetic analysis of combined morphological and molecular data placed this genus as sister to Stirellus with strong branch support (Zahniser &amp; Dietrich, 2013). Kinonia was originally described from the southwestern USA. It is here recorded from Mexico for the first time.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/039087CCFF83FF986F91FC14FC12D810	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

The composition and morphological definition of this genus remain controversial. It is presently defined based on the absence of the distinctive characters used to define other genera of the tribe. Our current concept of Stirellus includes 25 other named genus-group taxa, here considered junior synonyms. As noted by Emeljanov (1962), Stirellus is a large and heterogeneous assemblage of species distributed worldwide. Although there is considerable interspecific (and sometimes intraspecific) variation in body proportions, wing development and coloration, the male genitalia vary far less obviously among species of Stirellus than in other leafhopper genera. The differences among species in body proportions and coloration, partly explain why many such diverse forms were previously considered to represent separate genera. Most of these taxa have been recognized by previous authors as synonyms of either Stirellus or Doratulina (Linnavuori 1959, Emeljanov 1962, Vilbaste 1965). We follow Emeljanov (1966) and Duan et al. (2016) in treating Doratulina as a junior synonym of Stirellus . Comprehensive phylo- genetic analyses including molecular data will be needed to elucidate the status of Stirellus, the taxa here treated as synonyms, and relationships among the many included species.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/039087CCFF86FF9C6F91FE1DFC87DEB6	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Only one other species of Stenometopiini has been recorded from Madagascar so far: Stirellus minimus (Evans) . It differs from S. madagascarensis sp. nov. in its less elongated body, less reflexed costal crossveins, rounded subgenital plate, and strongly acute angle between the aedeagal atrium and shaft. Malagasiella was treated as a junior synonym of Doratulina by Zahniser &amp; Nielson (2012). The latter genus was considered a junior synonym of Stirellus by Duan et al. (2016).</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/039087CCFF9CFFBA6F91FAA1FEF1DF96	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply. See Agosti, D., Egloff, W., 2009.
