Review of the genus Indicopleustes Distant, 1908 (Hemiptera, Membracidae, Centrotinae) with description of a new species from China

The five valid and two invalid species of the treehopper genus Indicopleustes Distant, 1908 (Hemiptera: Membracidae: Centrotinae), distributed across China, Sri Lanka, and Indonesia, are reviewed and revised based on the study of types and newly collected specimens. A new species from Hainan Province, China, I. zizhongi Li, Chen & Yang, sp. nov., is described and illustrated. Two previously invalid species, I. hainanensis Yuan, 2002 and I. yunnanensis Yuan, 2002, are redescribed and reinstated to valid status.

Thus, the number of recognized species in the genus is raised to eight. A checklist and a key to the known species of Indicopleustes, supplemented by habitus photographs of adults, are provided.
