Dictyophara nekkana Matsumura (Hemiptera: Fulgoroidea: Dictyopharidae), unrecorded since its 1940 description, is recently rediscovered. Two syntypes of D. nekkana are recently found and a lectotype is newly designated for the identity of this species. Diagnosis and description of the adults, with illustrations of the male genitalia, are presented. New distributional records for D. nekkana are given for Heilongjiang, Inner Mongolia, Hebei, Beijing, Shandong, Shanxi, and Shaanxi. This has extended the distribution range of the species considerably, which was previously known only from Manchuria in northeastern China.
