Abstract

The identity of Empoasca dolichi Paoli, a serious pest of beans and other crops in Africa, was confused. While processing a collection of leafhoppers from Malawi, E. dolichi was found mixed with other species. The identity of E. dolichi was established with reference to its type material, and two new species and a new subspecies of Empoasca from Malawi and two new species from Nigeria are described. New characters that might help specific identification and show the relationships of groups of species are also illustrated and described.
