Material examined. No specimen examined. Remarks. This species varies in the color pattern of the crown and is close to G. pallidus in external characters but can be easily differentiated by the male genitalia.Published as part of Shah, Bismillah, Naveed, Hassan & Duan, Yani, 2019, Taxonomic review of the leafhopper genus Grammacephalus Haupt (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae: Deltocephalinae: Scaphoideini) with description of a new species from Pakistan, pp. 71-85 in Zootaxa 4688 (1) on page 74, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4688.1.3, http://zenodo.org/record/351482

Type species <i>Curvimonus gajadantha</i> Viraktamath & Anantha Murthy, type by original designation.</p> <p>Medium sized leafhoppers, 6.00–7.00 mm long. In life greenish with red stripes. Vertex anteriorly triangularly produced; apical half with a triangular depression, transition between vertex and face angular with anterior carina. Fronto­clypeus basally widened, approximately three times as long as wide near clypellus. Clypellus parallel­sided, about 0.33 as long as frontoclypeus, not exceeding genal curve. Ocelli on anterior margin, contiguous with eyes. Pronotum more than twice as broad as long, shorter than vertex, lateral margin carinate, caudal margin slightly concave. Front wings about four times as long as wide; apices obliquely truncate; inner anteapical cell basally open. Arrangement of spines on hind tibia R1 21±2, R2 11±1, R3 18±2. Hind basitarsus with three platellae.</p> <p>Male pygophore lobe caudally produced into a process, basally with membranous lobe on dorsal margin. Anal segment strongly sclerotized and pigmented. Subgenital plates and valve completely fused, forming a median quadrangular plate, with lateral margin multiseriate setae. Style stout with a well­developed preapical lobe, apophysis short. Connective Y­shaped, with apices of arms touching each other. Aedeagus simple, dorsally strongly curved, articulated with connective. Gonopore subapical, dorsal apodeme welldeveloped.</p> <p>Caudal margin of female seventh sternum with a median distinct lobe. Valvifer I three times as long as wide in ventral aspect.

Vertex with two small light brown spots near apex, two squarish light brown patches one on either side of coronal sulcus. Pronotum greenish brown, mottled with dark brown patches. Face pale yellow (Fig. 12). Forewings creamy white with pale brown spots between veins, distal half of apical cells more darkly mottled; median spot well defined with pale brown margin (Fig. 10-11). Male genitalia: Pygofer (Fig. 13) laterally longer than wide, macrosetae confined to conically round posterior lobe. Valve 2.04x wider than long (Fig. 14). Subgenital plates broadly rounded at base, with terminal finger like process approximately 1/3 rd of the total plate length (Fig. 19). Style approximately 3.75x as long as wide at base; preapical lobe well developed with few hair like setae, apophysis digitate (Fig. 20). Stem of connective (Fig. 15) shorter than arms. Aedeagus in lateral view (Fig. 18) curved at base with acute apex, shaft with basal processes placed between shafts; aedeagal shaft in ventral view (Fig. 17) with inner margin diverging from base in basal half and curved inwardly, rounded apically, basal processes not widely splayed, closer to each other than to shaft, about half as long as shaft, blunt end, gonopore subapical on ventral margin. Measurement. Male 3.44mm long, 1.06 mm wide across eyes. Material Examined. INDIA: 1♂, Haryana: Panchkula 365m, 30.74°N, 76.80°E, 16.iii.2016, at light, Stuti (NPC). Remarks. Hishimonus knightiellus was earlier described from Borneo, Malaysia, Sri Lanka and China (the type was not examined in the present work). It is here recorded for the first time from India (Haryana). It closely resembles H. spicans Viraktamath & Murthy but can be distinguished in having the pygofer lobe with many stout macrosetae over the dorsocaudal quarter; aedeagal basal processes not widely splayed, closer to each other than to shaft, about half as long as shaft, with blunt ends; and gonopore subapical on ventral margin (Figs 16 – 18). We provide photographic illustrations which complement the earlier descriptions given by Viraktamath and Anantha Murthy (2014).Published as part of Singaravel, M. & Singaravel, M., 2020, A new species of the genus Hishimonus Ishihara, 1953 (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae Deltocephalinae) with a new record from India, pp. 131-137 in Zootaxa 4750 (1) on page 135, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4750.1.7, http://zenodo.org/record/370291
