Leptosemia inanulata (Kishida, 1929) stat. rev. & comb. nov. (Hemiptera: Cicadidae)
Abstract
The taxonomic status of a cicada species occurring on the Korean Peninsula and traditionally treated as Leptosemia takanonis Matsumura, 1917 is re-examined based on morphological characters and a review of historical literature. Comparison with the holotype of L. takanonis from western China and Korean specimens reveals that the Korean population differs consistently from L. takanonis from Sichuan, China. Based on these differences, Euterpnosia inanulata Kishida, 1929 stat. rev. is removed from synonymy with L. takanonis and treated as a valid species. Chosenosemia souyoensis Doi, 1931 stat. rev. & syn. nov., which shares the same type locality and shows no diagnostic differences from E. inanulata, is regarded as conspecific and therefore resurrected from junior synonymy with L. takanonis and subsequently is placed in synonymy with Leptosemia inanulata (Kishida, 1929) stat. rev. & comb. nov. Diagnostic characters separating L. inanulata from L. takanonis are provided, and a neotype is designated to clarify the application of the name.
