Two Nirvanini genera, Afronirvana Evans and Afrokana Heller, including two new species, Afronirvana leptoclada sp. nov. and Afrokana transmaculata, sp. nov. from Africa are described. One new combination, Afronirvana africana (Heller) n. comb., is proposed. The female genitalia of these two genera are described and illustrated for the first time. Afronirvana and Afrokana are similar to the Oriental Kana Distant (= Yaoundea Linnavuori, syn. nov. with K. semela (Linnavuori), n. comb.) in having the aedeagus straight through most of its length but with a posteroventrally curved distal section that is strongly appressed to the shaft. Descriptions, illustrations and a key to species of Afronirvana and Afrokana are provided.

The Oriental leafhopper genus Riseveinus Li is redefined with the redescription of its type species Riseveinus sinensis (Jacobi), and descriptions of two new species: Riseveinus asymmetricus sp. nov. and Riseveinus compressus sp. nov. The female genitalia of the species of this genus are described for the first time. One new combination, Riseveinus albiveinus (Li) n. comb., is also proposed. Photographs and a key to all aforementioned species are provided. The relationship of this genus to related genera is discussed.

Mendozellus paralaredanus sp. n. from Uruguay and M. rakitovi sp. n. from Peru are described. M. asunctia Cheng is redescribed, the ovipositor is illustrated for the first time, and newly recorded from Argentina. M. serratus DeLong is transferred to Haldorus Oman based on the male genitalia structure, creating the new combination H. serratus (DeLong), comb. n. A checklist and key to species of Mendozellus are provided.

Species of the tolutarius species group of the genus Stomodes Schoenherr, 1826 are revised. A redescription of the genus is provided and all available male and female genitalia are illustrated. Two new species, S. benedikti sp. n. and S. dodocunevi sp. n. from Greece, are described. A lectotype is designated for S. amorei Desbrochers des Loges, 1904. The redescriptions of the following species are provided: S. marocanus Hoffmann, 1956; S. muelleri Lona, 1922; S. leonhardi Wagner, 1912; S. letzneri Reitter, 1889 and S. tolutarius Schoenherr, 1826. S. muelleri is for the first time recorded for Macedonia, Bosnia and Hercegovina and Greece; S. tolutarius for Macedonia, Bulgaria and Turkey. An identification key to species of the tolutarius species group is given.

Two new leafhopper species of the bamboo-feeding subgenus Myittana (Benglebra), M. (Benglebra) biflaka sp. nov. and M. (Benglebra) curvata sp. nov. are described and illustrated from the southwest of China (Yunnan Province). A new combination, M. (Benglebra) ventrospina (Chen & Yang, 2007), comb. nov. is proposed. Female genitalia of four Chinese species are described and illustrated for the first time. A key to all known species is also provided.

In the present paper, two new species, Barsine persephone Volynkin & Černý, sp. nov. (N Thailand and N Vietnam), and Barsine asotoida Volynkin & Černý, sp. nov. (SW China and N Myanmar) are described. A new combination is established: Barsine specialis (Fang, 1991), comb. nov. Both new species belong to the Barsine prominens (Moore, 1878) species-group, and, as well as B. specialis have unusual for the genus dark brown forewing coloration. Adult, male and female genitalia are illustrated.

The nasocorine plant bug genus Campylomma Reuter from Japan and neighboring regions is reviewed. Twelve species are currently recognized. Several species, which have pale basic coloration, are rediagnosed, with emphasis on the male and female genitalia as significant taxonomic characters. Two new species, C. fukagawai and C. tanakakiana, are described and figured, and C. marjorae Schuh is reported from Japan for the first time and diagnosed. The females of three taxonomically confused species, C. eurycephala Yasunaga, C. livida Reuter and C. lividicornis Reuter, are documented in detail and figured for the first time. Female specimens of the most frequently encountered congeners, C. lividicornis Reuter and C. livida Reuter, can now be unequivocally identified. Confidently associated final-instar immatures are figured for C. aterrima Yasunaga and C. livida Reuter. Confirmed host plant associations are reported for most treated species. Campylomma chinensis [= chinense] Schuh is proposed as a junior synonym of C. livida Reuter, and C. chichijima Carvalho is regarded as nomen dubium. A checklist and a key to species are provided, which are applicable to the faunas of Japan, and of Korea, NE China the Russian Far East and Taiwan as well.

Taxonomic and faunistic data for seven species of the genus Amphichroum Kraatz, 1857 (Omaliinae) from the Himalayan Region and Tibet are provided. All species are (re-)described and illustrated, including two new species: A. ahrensi sp. n. from India (West Bengal) and A. telnovi sp. n. from western Nepal. A new combination is proposed for A. nepalicum (Coiffait, 1982) comb. n., originally described in the genus Arpedium Erichson, 1839. The lectotype is designated for A. anthobioides Champion, 1925. Distributional distributional maps for all covered species are provided. Amphichroum monticola Cameron, 1928 is recorded from Nepal for the first time.

Two new species are described: Cobelura prenai, from Costa Rica, included in a new key to species of the genus; and Paranisopodus thalassinus, from Costa Rica, included in a previous key to species of the genus. Notes on Cobelura peruviana (Aurivillius, 1920) are provided and the holotype of Cobelura vermicularis Kirsch, 1889 is illustrated for the first time. Also, new geographical records are provided: Leptostylus orbiculus Bates, 1880, new country record for Costa Rica; Leptostylus quintalbus Bates, 1885, new country record for Mexico; and Anisopodus scriptipennis Bates, 1872, new state record in Mexico, and new province records in Costa Rica and Panama.
