Leafhopper genera and species of the tribe Mukariini from the Indian subcontinent are revised. Nine genera and 22 species including two new genera, one new subgenus and 12 new species are dealt with. The new taxa described are Aalinga gen. nov. with its type species Aalinga brunoflava sp. nov. (India: Andaman Islands), Buloria indica sp. nov. (India: Karnataka). Buloria zeylanica sp. nov. (Sri Lanka), Flatfronta bella sp. nov. (India: Karnataka; Bangladesh), Mohunia bifurcata sp. nov. (Myanmar), Mukaria omani sp. nov. (India: Gujarat, Karnataka, Madhya Pradesh), Mukaria vakra sp. nov. (India: Karnataka), Mukariella gen. nov. with its type species Mukariella daii sp. nov. (India: Manipur), Myittana (Benglebra) cornuta sp. nov. (India: Karnataka), Myittana (Myittana) distincta sp. nov. (India: Karnataka), Myittana (Savasa) subgen. nov. with its type species Myittana (Savasa) constricta sp. nov. (India: Andhra Pradesh, Gujarat, Haryana, Himachal Pradesh, Karnataka, Madhya Pradesh, Punjab, Tamil Nadu, Uttarakhand) and Scaphotettix arcuatus sp. nov. (India: West Bengal, Meghalaya, Mizoram). Genera Buloria Distant (new placement), Crispina Distant (new placement) and Myittana Distant (new placement) are placed in the tribe Mukariini. Genus Mohunia is redefined based on the study of its type species. Benglebra Mahmood Ahmed 1969 is synonymised with Myittana Distant 1908 and considered as its subgenus. Myittana (Benglebra) alami (Mahmood Ahmed) comb. nov., Myittana (Savasa) bipunctata (Mahmood Ahmed) comb. nov.. Myittana (Benglebra) introspina (Chen Yang 2007) comb. nov. and Mukariella bambusana (Li Chen) comb. nov. are proposed; the first two species were earlier placed in the genus Benglebra, the third species in the genus Mohunia and the fourth in the genus Mukaria. Genera Flatfronta Chen Li and Myittana are new records for India and Scaphotettix striata Dai Zhang is a new record for the Indian subcontinent and Sri Lanka. All taxa dealt with are described and illustrated and keys for genera and their species are also given.
对印度次大陆穆卡里尼族叶蝉属及种类进行了修订。涉及9个属和22个种，包括2个新属、1个新亚属和12个新种。所描述的新分类单元有：新属阿林加属（Aalinga gen. nov.），其模式种为褐黄阿林加（Aalinga brunoflava sp. nov.）（印度：安达曼群岛）、印度布洛里亚叶蝉（Buloria indica sp. nov.）（印度：卡纳塔克邦）、锡兰布洛里亚叶蝉（Buloria zeylanica sp. nov.）（斯里兰卡）、丽色扁额叶蝉（Flatfronta bella sp. nov.）（印度：卡纳塔克邦；孟加拉国）、叉突莫胡尼亚叶蝉（Mohunia bifurcata sp. nov.）（缅甸）、阿曼穆卡里叶蝉（Mukaria omani sp. nov.）（印度：古吉拉特邦、卡纳塔克邦、中央邦）、弯突穆卡里叶蝉（Mukaria vakra sp. nov.）（印度：卡纳塔克邦）、新属穆卡里埃拉属（Mukariella gen. nov.），其模式种为戴氏穆卡里埃拉叶蝉（Mukariella daii sp. nov.）（印度：曼尼普尔邦）、角突米塔纳叶蝉（Myittana (Benglebra) cornuta sp. nov.）（印度：卡纳塔克邦）、显突米塔纳叶蝉（Myittana (Myittana) distincta sp. nov.）（印度：卡纳塔克邦）、新亚属萨瓦萨米塔纳叶蝉亚属（Myittana (Savasa) subgen. nov.），其模式种为缢缩萨瓦萨米塔纳叶蝉（Myittana (Savasa) constricta sp. nov.）（印度：安得拉邦、古吉拉特邦、哈里亚纳邦、喜马偕尔邦、卡纳塔克邦、中央邦、旁遮普邦、泰米尔纳德邦、北阿坎德邦）以及弧突舟额叶蝉（Scaphotettix arcuatus sp. nov.）（印度：西孟加拉邦、梅加拉亚邦、米佐拉姆邦）。将布洛里亚叶蝉属（Buloria Distant）（新归类）、克里皮纳叶蝉属（Crispina Distant）（新归类）和米塔纳叶蝉属（Myittana Distant）（新归类）归入穆卡里尼族。基于对其模式种的研究重新定义了莫胡尼亚叶蝉属。将1969年的孟加拉叶蝉属（Benglebra Mahmood Ahmed）归为米塔纳叶蝉属（Myittana Distant 1908）的异名，并视为其亚属。提出了角突米塔纳叶蝉（Myittana (Benglebra) alami (Mahmood Ahmed) comb. nov.）、双斑萨瓦萨米塔纳叶蝉（Myittana (Savasa) bipunctata (Mahmood Ahmed) comb. nov.）、内突米塔纳叶蝉（Myittana (Benglebra) introspina (Chen Yang 2007) comb. nov.）和竹生穆卡里埃拉叶蝉（Mukariella bambusana (Li Chen) comb. nov.）；前两个物种先前置于孟加拉叶蝉属，第三个物种置于莫胡尼亚叶蝉属，第四个物种置于穆卡里叶蝉属。扁额叶蝉属（Flatfronta Chen Li）和米塔纳叶蝉属是印度新记录，条纹舟额叶蝉（Scaphotettix striata Dai Zhang）是印度次大陆和斯里兰卡新记录。对所有涉及的分类单元进行了描述和绘图，并给出了属及其种类的检索表。
