Pseudothaia caudata Song & Li, 2013

Cao, Yanghui, Dmitriev, Dmitry A., Dietrich, Christopher H. & Zhang, Yalin, 2020, Review of the leafhopper genus Thaia Ghauri and related genera (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae: Typhlocybinae: Erythroneurini), Zootaxa 4868 (3), pp. 331-367 : 365

Pseudothaia caudata Song & Li, 2013

Pseudothaia caudata Song & Li, 2013: 223 , Figs 1–3 , 4–13

Remarks. This species is similar to some species of Thaia Ghauri and Etmaria gen. n. in the shape of the subgenital plate, style and aedeagus. However, its pygofer lobe is very narrow and tapering apically, which differs from Thaia and Etmaria . The pygofer lobe and the small ventral process of P. caudata looks like the pygofer ventral appendage of P. striata , but the other structures are very different. This species is here treated as Incertae sedis within Erythroneurini .

Thaia (Nlunga) leishanensis ( Song & Li, 2007)

Parathaia leishanensis Song & Li, 2007: 64 , Figs 1–11

Thaia (Nlunga) leishanensis: Song & Li, 2014: 185

Remarks. This species was originally placed in Parathaia Kuoh , then transferred to Thaia (Nlunga) . Most of the Oriental species of Thaia (Nlunga) are now transferred to Etmaria gen. n., however, this species lacks all the key characters of the new genus. Therefore, it is here treated as incertae sedis within Erythroneurini .
