The Chinese species of the genus Deferunda Distant, 1912 are reviewed. They include 9 species as follows: D. acuminata Chou & Wang, 1985, D. diana Chen & He, 2010, D. ellipsoidea sp. nov., D. lua sp. nov., D. qiana Chen & He, 2010, D. rubrostigma (Matsumura, 1914), D. striata Wang & Liu, 2008, D. trimaculata Wang & Peng, 2008 and D. truncata Chen, Yang & Wilson, 1989. The 2 new species, D. ellipsoidea sp. nov. and D. lua sp. nov., are described and illustrated. A checklist of Chinese species and a key to all known species in the genus are provided.
The planthopper genus Deferunda (Hemiptera: Fulgoromorpha: Achilidae: Plectoderini) was established by Distant (1912) with D. stigmatica Distant, 1912 from Bangladesh as its type species. The genus consists of 13 species, which are widely distributed in the Oriental (China, India, Bangladesh and Philippines), Palaearctic (Tajikistan, Japan and Korea) and Australian (Australia) regions. Most are distributed in the Oriental region, especially in the southern China (Chen & He 2010).
In this paper, the Chinese species of the genus Deferunda are reviewed and 2 new species are described and illustrated from Guizhou and Shandong Provinces, China. A checklist of Chinese species and a key to all species of Deferunda are provided.
Materials and Methods
The morphological terminology and measurements used in this study follow Chen et al. (1989) and Yang & Chang (2000). The color photographs of examined specimens were taken with a Keyence VHX-1000C camera. External morphology was observed under an Olympus SZX7 stereoscopic microscope and characters measured with an ocular micrometer. The genital segments of the examined specimens were macerated in 10% KOH and drawn from preparations in glycerin using Olympus CX41 stereomicroscope. Illustrations were scanned by Canon CanoScan LiDE100 and imported into Adobe Photoshop CS5 for labeling and plate composition. Spinal formula refers to the numbers of apical spines of the hind tibiae and 1st and 2nd hind tarsomeres. The type materials and examined materials are deposited in the Institute of Entomology, Guizhou University, Guiyang, Guizhou Province, China (IEGU).

Vertex produced before eyes two–thirds to a half length of vertex, anterior margin rounded, subtruncate or truncate, posterior margin subtruncate or slightly concave, anterior half of median carina obsolete, basal half prominent, lateral margins distinctly foliate, highly elevated, diverging posteriorly. Frons, in lateral view, slightly convex, longer in mid line than widest part, basal margin roundly convex or truncate, one–fifth as wide as broadest part; median carina simple, with basal half obsolete, lateral margins strongly foliate basally, extending laterad beneath antennae, hence incurved into suture, disk of frons depressed at basal third, or apparently so on account of deeply foliate margins. Postclypeus shorter than frons in mid line, nearly straight in lateral view. Rostrum reaching mesothoracic trochanters. Pronotum shorter than vertex in mid line, anterior margin angularly or rounded convex, lateral carinae diverging posteriorly, reaching hind margin. Mesonotum longer than vertex and pronotum combined. Forewing with Sc+R forked in basal third of forewing, Cu1 forked level with union of claval veins, M forked level with node, Cu1 deeply convex distad of claval apex, almost reaching M, hence slightly detached; with a callus in costal cell, 6 apical areoles distad of stigma, apical part behind apex of clavus folding down and covering apex of abdomen. Spinal formula of hind leg 8–7(8)-6(5).
Male genitalia. Anal segment, in dorsal view, broadly elliptical or ovoid with apical margin rounded, truncate or emarginate. Pygofer, in lateral view, distinctly shorter dorsally than ventrally, anterior margin concave, posterior margin convex, pygofer in ventral view with a pair of medioventral processes. Aedeagus with phallobase dividing into 4 lobes distally, ventral lobe usually cleft at apex medially. Phallic appendages slender, much longer than phallobase, tubular, tapering distally. Parameres narrow at base, and widening distally, each nearly triangular, outer margin usually with 1 or 2 processes apically and subapically. Connective long (Chen & He 2010).
