A revision of the genus Epipsychidion Kirkaldy (Homoptera : Cicadelloidea : Cicadellidae)

Abstract

The Australian cicadellid genus Epipsychidion Kirkaldy is revised. Two species are recognised: E. epipyropis Kirkaldy (the type species) and E. whitteni Evans. E. fides Evans is synonymised with E. epipyropis, and a lectotype designated for the latter. A key is provided to the males of the genus, and the known distributions of both species are mapped.
