03D387CDFF80EC0F4DE12759FD9BFD84.taxon	description	Description. Head yellow, vertex with a somewhat ‘ T’ - shaped medial dark brown band; face with variable brown markings. Pronotum dark brown sometimes marked with yellow laterally. Scutellum dark brown with apical margins yellow. Forewing with variable hyaline area adjacent to costal margin. Abdomen dark brown dorsally with lateral margins of tergites yellow; ventrally yellow; abdominal terminalia dark brown. Vertex (Fig. 1 A – G) sharply triangularly produced anteriorly, about as long as or slightly longer than pronotum, smooth with area adjacent to eye finely rugose; lateral margin adjacent to eye elevated with sharp edge; basal area swollen medially each side of longitudinal lamellate carina extending from base to apex of vertex; anterior margin with carina between and above ocelli (supraocellar carina) and another strongly oblique carina directed from apex of head to below antennae (subocellar carina); area between carina to eye transversly rugose to striate. Face (Figs 2 C, 4 C, 6 C) including eyes distinctly longer than wide, shagreen; frontoclypeus with distinct median longitudinal carina, shagreen below subocellar transverse carina; clypellus broad and swollen at base, narrowed apically, shagreen; lora and gena smooth. Pronotum (Fig. 1 A – G) broad, wider than head; lateral margins carinate; punctate. Scutellum (Fig. 1 A – G) about as long as pronotum, with transverse depression indistinct. Forewing (Figs 1 A – G, 2 D) with two open subapical cells, appendix narrow; clavus and adjacent main wing veins punctate. Fore femur with anterior surface with nine intercalary setae preceded by two longer setae at mid-length of ventral margin, no stout basal AV setae.

03D387CDFF80EC0F4DE12759FD9BFD84.taxon	etymology	Etymology. The genus takes its name from the original placement of the included species Pythamus together with the first name of our good friend and teacher Chandra Viraktamath for his work on the Indian species. Distribution. Philippines, Malaysia, Singapore.	en	Wei, Cong, Webb, Michael D., Zhang, Yalin (2014): Identity of Baker’s species described in the Oriental leafhopper genus Pythamus (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae) with description of a new genus.

03D387CDFF80EC0F4DE12759FD9BFD84.taxon	discussion	Remarks. The species included in this new genus were originally placed in Pythamus, both genera having the vertex with a swollen area each side of a medial lamellate carina, the face with subocellar carina present, the pronotum and scutellum punctate and the male pygofer with a long ventral process and a conspicuous dorsal connective of the aedeagus present (see also revision of Pythamus by Viraktamath & Webb, 2007). The new genus differs from Pythamus by its shorter head, more oblique subocellar carina on the face, male pygofer with dorsolateral fracture, style apex foot-like, longer connective stem and shape of the aedeagus with a pair of dorsobasal lobes. This form of aedeagus is also found in some other evacanthine genera, e. g., Onukia Matsumura, Bundara Distant and Carinata Li & Wang, but Pythochandra differs from these in other respects (e. g., see above characters shared with Pythamus).	en	Wei, Cong, Webb, Michael D., Zhang, Yalin (2014): Identity of Baker’s species described in the Oriental leafhopper genus Pythamus (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae) with description of a new genus.

03D387CDFF83EC0F4DE121B1FD5CF9FD.taxon	discussion	Remarks. This species was originally described from an unknown number of females from ‘ Borneo, Sandakan (Baker) ’. It can be distinguished by the dark brown spot on the mesopleura and forewings mainly hyaline in basal two-thirds of corium and brownish hyaline in distal third to near apex of wing. It is found in the same locality (Sandakan) as the next species. A full description of the female was given by Baker (1923). Further identification awaits the study of associated males.	en	Wei, Cong, Webb, Michael D., Zhang, Yalin (2014): Identity of Baker’s species described in the Oriental leafhopper genus Pythamus (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae) with description of a new genus.
