A new genus of leafhopper subtribe Paraboloponina (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae) with molecular phylogeny of related genera

<div><p>A new leafhopper genus <i>Chandra</i> and species <i>Chandra dehradunensis</i> <b>gen. nov., sp. nov</b>. are described, illustrated from India and placed in the subtribe Paraboloponina (Cidadellidae: Deltocephalinae: Drabescini). This genus is closely associated with the genus <i>Parabolopona</i> Webb but differs in shape of the head, placement of antennae, male genitalia and molecular analysis using Histone <i>H3</i> and <i>COI</i> genes confirmed the difference. The taxonomic and phylogenetic position of <i>Chandra</i> is discussed using morphological characters and preliminary molecular evidence of the new genus and related genus <i>Parabolopona</i>.</p></div
