F51387D56719FFA1F43627B5FCE9FCF1.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis Ground colour pale grey with anterior femora and tibiae black (Figs 1 A, 2 A); profemora with a strong tooth in ventroapical angle (Figs 1 A – B, D, 2 A – B, D); vertex more than 2.5 times as long as wide (Figs 1 G, 2 F); posterior margin of the pygofer with a strong process (Fig. 3 A, E); laterodorsal processes of the phallobase strongly sinuate (Fig. 3 F, H, J). Differential diagnosis The distinctive characters allowing the separation of Femotyche gen. nov. from both Cleotyche (Cleotyche) and Cleotyche (Griseotyche) are the presence of a strong posterodistal tooth on protibiae and the more elongate vertex (more than 2.5 times as long as wide vs less than 2.2 times in all taxa of Cleotyche). Furthermore, it can be separated from Cleotyche (Cleotyche) by its pale grey body colour (dark brown with white band along apical margin of tegmina in Cleotyche (Cleotyche )), the strong process of the posterior margin of the pygofer (posterior margin rounded in Cleotyche (Cleotyche )) and the strongly sinuate laterodorsal processes of the phallobase (not sinuate in Cleotyche (Cleotyche )); from Cleotyche (Griseotyche), by a more pyriform shape of the body in dorsal view, with sides of abdomen parallel in basal ¾ (body shape oval in Cleotyche (Griseotyche) with abdomen regularly tapering towards the posterior).	en	Constant, Jérôme, Semeraro, Linda (2024): Cleotychini planthoppers from Perth region in Western Australia: The new genus Femotyche gen. nov., and more … (Hemiptera: Fulgoromorpha: Dictyopharidae).

F51387D56719FFA1F43627B5FCE9FCF1.taxon	etymology	Etymology The new genus name is formed from ‘ femur - oris ’ (noun, Latin) meaning ‘ thigh, femur’, referring to the generic characters on the profemora, and ‘ - tyche ’, arbitrarily chosen to remind of the genus name ‘ Cleotyche ’ and the placement of the new genus in the same tribe Cleotychini.

F51387D5671FFFA2F43621FDFCB3FA06.taxon	biology_ecology	Biology The species lives near ground level and is very mobile, moving quickly and jumping from one leaf to the next in a jerky way typically similar to jumping spiders (Salticidae). Additionally, they wave their forelegs with contrasting white tarsi in a similar way as jumping spiders move their forelegs and pedipalps, adding to an almost perfect confusion (Figs 5, 6 A – D; K. Stuart, pers. com. and video footage, Jan. 2022). The specimens were collected from and observed on Tall Saw-sedge, Gahnia clarkei Benl, an evergreen Cyperaceae (Fig. 6 E – F; K. Stuart, pers. com., Jan. 2022).

Anal tube (An – Fig. 9 A – E) massive, curved and widening towards the posterior in lateral view and with large, pointed, triangular lateroventral tooth (alt) in distal portion projecting ventrad; in lateral view, ventral margin sinuate in basal portion, and forming a nearly right angle at base of tooth; in dorsal view, about 1.02 times as long as broad in midline; broadest at ⅖ of length; lateral margins forming an angularly rounded lobe in basal half in dorsal view.	en	Constant, Jérôme, Semeraro, Linda (2024): Cleotychini planthoppers from Perth region in Western Australia: The new genus Femotyche gen. nov., and more … (Hemiptera: Fulgoromorpha: Dictyopharidae).

F51387D56714FFAAF4DD24DEFD04F85F.taxon	diagnosis	This undescribed genus is known from two species from Western Australia. It clearly differs from the two genera currently included in the tribe Cleotychini by possessing slender, elongate forelegs (protibiae and profemora foliaceous in Cleotyche and Femotyche gen. nov.). The two species, both recorded only from photographs, differ in the width of the white band on the tegmina (rather narrow in sp. 1; wide in sp. 2) and by the white markings on sides and in midline of abdomen, extending further cephalad in sp. 2.	en	Constant, Jérôme, Semeraro, Linda (2024): Cleotychini planthoppers from Perth region in Western Australia: The new genus Femotyche gen. nov., and more … (Hemiptera: Fulgoromorpha: Dictyopharidae).
