Abstract

Two new genera of macropterous leafhoppers, tentatively included in the tribe BonaspeiiniZahniser and Dietrich (2013) from the Fynbos biome of south-western parts of South Africa, are described. These are Retevolatusgen. nov. with type species R. flexiverpussp. nov., R. semicurviverpussp. nov. and R. subspiniverpussp. nov. and Flavorubivolatusgen. nov. with type species F. glabriverpussp. nov. and F. tensiverpussp. nov. and F. curtiverpussp. nov. Collection records and distribution modelling confirmed that species of both genera occur within a confined region of south-western parts of South Africa.
