Ruppeliana Young (Insecta: Hemiptera: Cicadellidae): three new species, redescriptions, and key to males

This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Alasmar, Luísa, Cavichioli, Rodney Ramiro (2025): Ruppeliana Young (Insecta: Hemiptera: Cicadellidae): three new species, redescriptions, and key to males. European Journal of Taxonomy 1022: 51-84, DOI: 10.5852/ejt.2025.1022.3081, URL: europeanjournaloftaxonomy.eu/index.php/ejt/article/download/3081/13739 Abstract. The Neotropical genus Ruppeliana Young, 1977 comprises 13 species.

The following three are redescribed and illustrated herein: R. coronata (Signoret, 1853), R. fulva (Taschenberg, 1884), and R. nigripes (Signoret, 1853). Additionally, three new species are described and illustrated: R. delicata sp. nov., R. robusta sp. nov., and R. tridentata sp. nov., from the states of Paraná, Santa Catarina, and Rio de Janeiro, respectively. A revised diagnosis, a key to males, a distribution map, and a neotype designation for R. grossii Cavichioli et al., 2017 are also proposed.
