5E6C87A9FFFCFFCE4649FD9EFAD0FB85.taxon	discussion	Based on overall appearance, i. e., colour pattern and shape of the head etc., the genera Scaphomonus and Selangomonus gen. nov. (both the subject of the current work) belong to a group of Asian Scaphoideini comprising: Scaphoideus Uhler, 1889, Melanetettix Knight & Fletcher, 2007, Scaphoidella Vilbaste, 1968, Scaphomonoides Li, Dai & Xing, 2011, Parascaphoidella Wei, Fang & Xing, 2020 and Coroticus Distant, 1918. Two other genera, Afroideus Linnavuori, 1961 from South Africa and Diemoides Evans, 1938 (see Fletcher 2017) from Australia also resemble these genera externally. Dai & Dietrich (2011) had noted that Scaphoidella externally resembled species of Scaphoideus, Melanetettix and Scaphomonus and these genera were placed together in recent molecular analyses of the tribe (Cao et al. 2022; El-Sonbati 2024), suggesting the group is worthy of group status as first suggested by Viraktamath & Mohan (2004). The inclusion of Mimotettix Matsumura, 1914 in the group by Cao et al. (2022) and El-Sonbati (2023) needs further study as externally it is distinct as also is Aeternus Distant, 1918 included in the group by Cao et al. (2022) but considered of uncertain tribal placement by Viraktamath et al. (2020). Another genus, Scaphodhara Viraktamath & Mohan, 1994, also belongs in the group, as although it has different head and thorax markings typical of the group it is indistinguishable from some Asian species of Scaphoideus externally. In addition, it should be noted that a few species of Scaphoideus from Europe, Africa and India have different colour markings and a different shaped vertex to typical species of Scaphoideus (see Webb & Viraktamath 2007). The Asian genera of the Scaphoideus group can be separated by the following key with Coroticus, known only from the female, omitted from the key as males are needed for generic identification.

5E6C87A9FFEEFFD945F4F944FE92FDA6.taxon	discussion	Remarks Although the male genitalia of this species were figured by Viraktamath & Mohan (1993) these figures cannot be considered reliable as the lectotype from Myanmar designated by Viraktamath & Mohan (1993) and paralectotype from India are both female and males are needed for identification. Also, there are some differences in the figures given here and in two other publications for the species (see below), therefore all identifications for the species must be considered tentative. In addition, the placement of the species in Selangomonus gen. nov. is also tentative as there are no external features to separate the Scaphoideus group genera.	en	Wei, Xingtao, Webb, Michael D., Dai, Wu (2025): Review of the Asian leafhopper genus Scaphomonus Viraktamath (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae: Deltocephalinae: Scaphoideini) with description of a new genus and new species.

5E6C87A9FFE7FFD445C8FEF3FA85FCCD.taxon	discussion	Remarks In their review of Scaphotettix, Dai et al. (2009) noted that S. redstripeus from China was inaccurately figured and that it belonged to another (as-yet) undecided genus. Subsequently, S. redstripeus was placed in a new genus Scaphomonoides by Li et al. (2011). Although the original figures of S. redstripeus are very poor (possibly drawn from a slide), they, and additional images seen of a type specimen, have been sufficient for us to identify a specimen from Vietnam (new record). The species is distinctive in the male genitalia in having the valve relatively long, subgenital plates short, and aedeagus with a pair of basal processes (similar to Melanetettix) and basal apodeme longer than the shaft with apex bifurcate.	en	Wei, Xingtao, Webb, Michael D., Dai, Wu (2025): Review of the Asian leafhopper genus Scaphomonus Viraktamath (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae: Deltocephalinae: Scaphoideini) with description of a new genus and new species.
