Leusaba

Wang, Rong-Rong, Webb, Michael D. & Liang, Ai-Ping, 2010, First record of the male of Leusaba philippina Stål (Hemiptera: Fulgoromorpha: Tropiduchidae) with a redescription of the genus and species, Zootaxa 2344, pp. 52-60 : 60

Leusaba indet. sp. 2

( Figs. 1 E–F)

Material examined. W. Malaysia: 1Ƥ, Pahang, Benon Mts, 15 km. E. Kampong Dong, 24.III–15.IV.1998, 300– 1000 m, Dembický and Pacolátko ( MMBC).

Remarks. This specimen is similar to L. marginalis with respect to the length of the anal tube and proportions of the external female genitalia. However, it does not match the original figure of L. marginalis with respect to the frons which is barely visible in dorsal view but is clearly visible in marginalis . Furthermore, the frons in facial view differs from the previous Leusaba species in that the lateral margins are more parallel adjacent to the eyes (compare Figs. 1 B and 1F).
