Genus Scaphomonoides Li, Dai & Xing

Scaphomonoides Li, Dai & Xing, 2011: 259–260 .

Type species

Scaphotettix redstripeus Li & Wang, 2005 .

Remarks

The examination of a specimen of the type species of Scaphomonoides , has enabled a reassessment of the genus and its inclusion in the Scaphoideus generic group based on external appearance and colour pattern (see above key). The genus can be distinguished by: subgenital plates short with convex outer margin ( Fig. 13H ), connective short ( Fig. 13F–G ) and aedeagus with a pair of basal processes and with a long apically bifurcate basal apodeme ( Fig. 13G ). The following single species is included.
