Orthophana (Eupharos), Gnezdilov & Constant, 2014

Gnezdilov, Vladimir M. & Constant, Jérôme, 2014, Notes on the tribe Tongini, with description of a new species of the genus Orthophana from northern Vietnam (Hemiptera: Fulgoroidea: Nogodinidae), Acta Entomologica Musei Nationalis Pragae 54 (1), pp. 47-55 : 51

Eupharos subgen. nov.

Type species. Orthophana tamdaoina sp. nov. (here designated).

Diagnosis. Distinguished from the nominotypical subgenus by the coloration, structure of the head, fore wing shape and venation, and the presence of two lateral spines on hind tibia (see the key above).

Etymology. From the Greek noun “φȐpoς” (lighthouse) from which Russian equivalent of “sail” is derived ( MOKIENKO 2007). The fore wing shape of Orthophana reminds a sail.
