03CDC464B572FFBF14B3FF41F18BE53B.taxon	discussion	Remarks. Nesoclutha is similar to Balclutha (Macrostelini) but can be distinguished from the latter by the head wider than pronotum and vertex obviously longer medially than next to eyes and aedeagal shaft more robust than latter (Fig. 1 A, H), with gonopore large and subapical on ventral margin (Fig. 1 J). It differs from all members of the tribe in China by the laterally membranous connective (Fig. 1 J).	en	Zhang, Yalin, Lu, Lin (2011): Taxonomy of the vector leafhopper genus Nesoclutha Evans (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae: Deltocephalinae) in China, with description of a new species.

This name was synonymised with N. pallida (Evans) by Day & Fletcher (1994). They suggested that the widespread use of N. pallida, particularly in relation to its disease transmission in economic plants, justified an application to the International Commission of Zoological Nomenclature (ICZN) for preservation of the younger name over N. phryne. However, no submission was subsequently made (M. J. Fletcher, personal communication, 2010) and Nesosteles phryne Kirkaldy as the senior synonym of N. pallida still has priority.	en	Zhang, Yalin, Lu, Lin (2011): Taxonomy of the vector leafhopper genus Nesoclutha Evans (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae: Deltocephalinae) in China, with description of a new species.

03CDC464B571FFBC14B3FC78F7A2E4CB.taxon	discussion	Remarks. The species is similar to N. erythrocephala but can be distinguished from the latter by the shaft of the aedeagus being more deeply concave at midlength ventrally (Fig. 1 H, K). Although we have only seen one specimen this difference is considered of sufficient magnitude to warrant description of the new species.	en	Zhang, Yalin, Lu, Lin (2011): Taxonomy of the vector leafhopper genus Nesoclutha Evans (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae: Deltocephalinae) in China, with description of a new species.

03CDC464B571FFBA14B3FA38F0E4E036.taxon	discussion	Remarks.
