Abstract
Two new species of genus Oecleopsis Emeljanov, 1971, O. laminatus Zhi & Chen, sp. n. and O. productus Zhi & Chen, sp. n., and a new record, O. yoshikawai (Ishihara, 1961), are described and illustrated from China. Female genitalia of five species within this genus are compared morphologically: O. laminatus Zhi & Chen, sp. n., O. mori (Matsumura, 1914), O. productus Zhi & Chen, sp. n., O. sinicus (Jacobi, 1944) and O. yoshikawai (Ishihara, 1961). A key to five Chinese species based on female genitalia, and a key to all known species of Oecleopsis based on male genitalia, are provided.

A key to five Chinese species based on female genitalia, and a key to all known species of Oecleopsis based on male genitalia, are provided.
Emeljanov (1971) established the cixiid planthopper genus with Matsumura, 1914 as its type species. This genus belongs to the tribe of subfamily (: ). Van Stalle (1991) and Guo et al. (2009) studied this genus, bringing the total of known species to twelve: (Matsumura, 1914), Van Stalle, 1991, (Tsaur, Hsu & Van Stalle, 1988), (Tsaur, Hsu & Van Stalle, 1988), (Tsaur, Hsu & Van Stalle, 1988), (Matsumura, 1914), (Noualhier, 1896), (Jacobi, 1944), Guo, Wang & Feng, 2009, Guo, Wang & Feng, 2009, Guo, Wang & Feng, 2009 and (Ishihara, 1961).Herein, two new species: Zhi & Chen, sp. n. and Zhi & Chen, sp. n. are described and illustrated from China (Yunnan province), and (Ishihara, 1961) is recorded from China for the first time. The genus now contains fourteen species, and all species from China.Female genitalia of are known relatively little: genitalia in ventral view and anal segment in dorsal view of , , and and the anal segment of were illustrated; , O. elevatus, and were described briefly (Fennah 1956; Tsaur et al. 1988; Van Stalle 1991; Guo et al. 2009). These characters of external genitalia are not effective to distinguish among species of . Zhi et al. (2017) discussed external and internal structures of female genitalia in cixiid planthoppers and found that the characteristics of posterior vaginal walls can be considered as key diagnostic features for female identification in genus . Using the characters of posterior vagina in species identification is also practicable in genus by comparing female genital morphological features of five species (other species are not included, as we do not have the female specimens): , , , and . A key to five Chinese species based on female genitalia, and a key to all known species of based on male genitalia, are provided.
Materials and methods
The morphological terminology and measurements follow Tsaur et al. (1988), Bourgoin et al. (2015) and Van Stalle (1991). The morphological terminology of female genitalia follows Bourgoin (1993). Body length was measured from apex of vertex to tip of forewing; vertex length was measured the median length of vertex (from apical transverse carina to tip of basal emargination). External morphology and drawings were done with the aid of a Leica MZ 12.5 stereomicroscope. Photographs of female genitalia were taken with Nikon SMZ25 and other photographs with KEYENCE VHX-1000 system. Illustrations were scanned with CanoScan LiDE 200 and imported into Adobe Photoshop CS7 for labeling and plate composition. The dissected male genitalia are preserved in glycerine in small plastic tubes pinned together with the specimens.The type specimens examined are deposited in the Institute of Entomology, Guizhou University, Guiyang, Guizhou Province, China ().
