9A4887CA046AFF96FEAFFCC1B36DFE85.taxon	materials_examined	Type species: Canopyana vateriae sp. nov. Small (4.4 – 5.5 mm long), yellowish brown leafhoppers with brown spots on head and thorax. Head including eyes wider than pronotum, anterior margin faintly rimmed and transversely striated. Ocelli on margin slightly more than own diameter from corresponding eye. Disc of vertex obliquely striated, with anterior margin slightly longer medially than next to eyes, sulcate subapically. Face including eyes broader than long, lateral frontal sutures reaching ocelli, transclypeal suture present. Clypellus broader apically than at base. Antennae situated somewhat at level with upper margin of eye in facial view, longer than half body length; antennal pit encroaching onto clypeus. Pronotum transversely striated, side margins short, carinate. Fore tibia with dorsal surface rounded, setal formula 2 + 4. Hind femur with apical setal formula 2 + 2 + 1. Hind tibial setal formula R 1 21 ± 2, R 2 10 ± 1, R 3 18 ± 2. Hind basitarsomere with three platellae on the apical transverse row. Forewing with claval veins connected by a cross vein and also with a cross vein between outer claval vein and claval suture, inner anteapical cell open basally. Male pygophore longer than high, with dorsal process arising from caudo­dorsal angle. Valve transverse, straplike. Subgenital plate triangular without macrosetae, with a mesal marginal sclerotization in basal region. Style short and broad. Connective Y­shaped, straight, with stem more than twice as long as arm. Aedeagus with a basal ventral process, shaft tubular with apical gonopore, dorsal apodeme short and sclerotized. Female seventh sternum medially produced. Second pair of gonapophysis with cutting edge confined to distal 0.25 area, each teeth with serrated margin. Remarks: Canopyana externally resembles some species of Carvaka Distant but differs in having a cross vein both between claval veins and outer claval vein and claval suture (in Carvaka only the outer claval vein is connected to claval suture by a cross vein). In Zhang & Webb (1996), Canopyana keys to Kutara Distant with difficulty but differs from Kutara as follows:	en	Viraktamath, C. A., Srinivasa, Y. B.

9A4887CA0469FF97FEAFFC40B53CFE85.taxon	description	Figs 1 – 8 Pale brownish yellow with a few small dark brown spots on head and thorax. Area along dorsal margin of each ocellus, a short transverse submarginal spot on either side of median line on vertex, antennal pit, a few short lines along facial sutures, a spot on gena below eye, lateral curved short stripes on frontoclypeus, fuscous. Forewing with dark brown spots as shown in Fig. 2; cross vein and adjacent area on claval veins white. Thoracic pleura yellow with dark brown patches. Spots at bases of each seta on legs dark brown. Male genitalia: Pygophore elongate, ventral margin slightly excavated in middle, caudal margin rounded with a sinuate process arising on caudodorsal angle; an oblique row of long setae near caudodorsal margin. Subgenital plate with a few short marginal hairlike setae, mesal margin sclerotized in basal 0.66. Style stout, anterior half broader, apophysis with lateral platelike expansion, along mesal margin rugulose. Aedeagus articulated with connective, dorsal apodeme short Y­shaped and well sclerotized, with a hoodlike ventral process, this apically bifid with fingerlike extension, shaft cylindrical, gonopore apical, surrounded by a membranous area. Female genitalia: Seventh sternum boarder than long, caudal margin medially produced, with four lobes on caudal margin. Measurements: Male 4.5 (4.4 – 4.7) mm long and 1.6 (1.6 – 1.7) mm wide across eyes. Female 5.0 (4.8 – 5.3) mm long and 1.8 (1.7 – 1.9) mm wide across eyes. Material examined: Holotype ♂, INDIA: Karnataka: Makuta near Virajpet, 26. vi. 2003, ex Vateria indica, Y. B. Srinivasa, canopy sampling (UASB). Paratypes: 10 ♂, 14 ♀ (of these 4 ♂, 7 ♀ in ethanol) data as for holotype (BMNH, NPC, UASB, USNM, ZSI). Remarks: Canopyana vateriae resembles some species of Carvaka from which it can be differentiated by the claval venation and very distinctive male genitalia.	en	Viraktamath, C. A., Srinivasa, Y. B.

9A4887CA046FFF90FEAFFEF9B038FCFA.taxon	discussion	Remarks: This species was earlier known only from Sri Lanka and has been recorded from India for the first time. The male from Mudigere has a lemon yellow head and thorax. It lacks the dark brown spots found in the holotype specimen from Sri Lanka. The forewings are however, brown with prominent dark brown veins and some of the cross veins are marked with dark brown patches. The spots on clavus are present. The cells have the median areas infuscated with dark fuscous. The specimen measures 6.2 mm long and 2.0 mm wide across eyes. However, the male genitalia are identical with those of the holotype.	en	Viraktamath, C. A., Srinivasa, Y. B.
