Xiang-Sheng Chen and Ai-Ping Liang (2007) The Oriental delphacid bamboo genus Bambusiphaga
Huang and Ding, 1979 (Hemiptera: Delphacidae), is revised to include 20
species known from China (18 species including 2 new species),
Singapore (2 species), Malaysia (2 species), Taiwan (4 species), the
Philippines (1 species), and the northeastern Himalayas (1
species). Based on the characters of the male genitalia, the 20
species of the genus are divided into 7 species groups. Thirteen
species, including the 2 new species, B. maolanensis Chen and Liang, sp. nov. and B. pianmaensis Chen and Liang, sp. nov., are described and illustrated. Two new synonymies are created: Malaxa herioca Yang, 1989 is a junior synonym of B. facia Huang and Tian, 1980 and B. latispina Qin and Yuan, 1999 is a junior synonym of B. bakeri (Muir, 1919). One new combination, B. bakeri (Muir, 1919) comb. nov. (from Malaxa Melichar), is proposed. A key to all the known species in the genus is provided.
Key words: Hemiptera, Delphacidae, Bambusiphaga, Taxonomy, Oriental region.
