The genus Paraxantia was recorded to be distributed in south of China, previously including 11 species. After examining numerous specimens of Paraxantia, here, we first propose that the genus Paraxantia could be divided into three species groups, and describe two new species from Himalaya-Hengduan Mountains: P. angustipennis sp. nov. and P. nujiangensis sp. nov.. A key to the species group of Paraxantia, necessary illustrations and life images of Paraxantia species are presented. The distribution of Paraxantia in Himalaya-Hengduan Mountains is discussed and mapped.
该属 Paraxantia 被记录分布于中国南部,先前包括 11 个种。在检查了大量的 Paraxantia 标本后,我们首次提出该属 Paraxantia 可分为三个种组,并描述了来自喜马拉雅-横断山脉的两个新种:狭翅突眼蝉 Paraxantia angustipennis sp. nov. 和怒江突眼蝉 Paraxantia nujiangensis sp. nov.。本文提供了 Paraxantia 种组的关键特征、必要的插图和 Paraxantia 种的生活图像。讨论了 Paraxantia 在喜马拉雅-横断山脉的分布,并绘制了分布图。
