A recent expedition in the protected areas of the Australian Capital Territory led to the discovery of a new genus and species of treehopper after a 20-year hiatus in taxonomy. The new genus Wallaciana is proposed to include two species, with key diagnostic traits discussed and DNA sequence data provided for one of the species.
A recent expedition to the protected areas of the Australian Capital Territory prompted the discovery of a new treehopper (Hemiptera: Membracidae) genus and species after a 20 year taxonomic hiatus. Wallacianagen. nov. is proposed to accommodate the type species Wallaciana barringtonensis (Day, 1999) comb. nov. (=Neocanthuchus barringtonensis Day, 1999) and Wallaciana namadgisp. nov., which are described and illustrated in detail. Key diagnostic traits are discussed in comparison to other members of the tribe, and DNA sequence data are provided for the holotype of W. namadgisp. nov.
