Four new species of the genus Pseudosubhimalus (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae) from the Indian subcontinent.

Four new species of leafhoppers, Pseudosubhimalus asymmetricus sp. nov. (Himachal Pradesh: Katrain), P. dalangensis sp. nov. (Himachal Pradesh: Dalang), P. katraini sp. nov. (Himachal Pradesh: Katrain), P. lachungensis sp. nov. (Sikkim: Lachung), are described from the Indian subcontinent. A checklist and key to the species of Pseudosubhimalus are provided.

Tribe reassessment of the subhimalayan leafhopper genus Pseudosubhimalus (Homoptera: Cicadellidae) based on molecular phylogeny.

The phylogeny of the Pseudosubhimalus were investigated using of two different data sets, including 91 taxa and 3853 aligned nucleotide positions from the histone H3, 28S rDNA (D2 & D9-10 region). The results suggest the placement of genus in the tribe Ciacadulini, as it was clustered with Cicadulini genera. Relationships between genera of the Cicadulini were strongly supported and leads placement to tribe Cicadulini from Athysanini. Along with this, genus Pseudosubhimalus Ghauri is revised, and P. trilobatus sp. nov. (Himachal Pradesh: Katrain) is added, described from Indian subcontinent and deposited to National Pusa Collection, IARI, New Delhi, with repository number RRS1.
