Gergithoides sp, Schumacher, 1915

Jérôme Constant & Hong-Thai Pham, 2017, Gergithoides Schumacher, 1915 in Vietnam, with two new species, and taxonomic notes on the genus (Hemiptera: Fulgoromorpha: Issidae), European Journal of Taxonomy 296, pp. 1-20 : 12-14

Gergithoides sp .

Four additional female specimens of Gergithoides from Vietnam were also examined, representing maybe four additional species, or only three if the two specimens collected in Ba Vi National Park ( Fig. 6A–C and D–F ) are conspecific. This will have to be established by examination of the genitalia of corresponding males.

It appears interesting to list and illustrate those undescribed species to give a better view of the actual diversity and distribution of Gergithoides in Vietnam.
