Revision of the genus Alseis Kirkaldy (Homoptera : Cicadelloidea : Cicadellidae), with descriptions of six new species

Abstract

The genus Alseis Kirkaldy is revised. Seven species are recognised: the type species, A. osborni Kirkaldy, and six new species, A. noccundraensis, A. brittoni, A. gattonensis, A. awoongaensis, A. hackeri and A. monstrosa. The genus is known only from eastern Australia.

The known distributions of all species are mapped, and a key to males of the genus is presented.
