Abstract:

The delphacid fauna of Pakistan has been poorly studied, with only 15 species in 9 genera previously recorded from this country (Bourgoin, 2021). This figure, comprising about 0.6% of the world's described species, most likely largely underrepresents the actual diversity of delphacids in this country. Specimens were collected from the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Province of Pakistan and are deposited at the Entomological Museum of Northwest A&F University (NWAFU) Yangling, Shaanxi, China. Members of the genera Rhombotoya Fennah (1975) and Queenslandicesa Koçak & Kemal (2010) in the subfamily Delphacinae are here reported from a 2018-2019 survey of delphacids from the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Province of Pakistan. Both genera are represented by a single species Rhombotoya pseudonegripennis (Muir, 1918) and Queenslandicesa fennahi Bellis & Donaldson (2016). Two genera i.e. Rhombotoya and Queenslandicesa are reported for the first time from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Province. Identification keys to the tribe and all known genera from Pakistan are provided. Habitus photographs of these newly recorded genera are also provided.
