A new genus from southern China in the tribe Nicertini and discussion of distinguishing tribes of Derbinae (Hemiptera: Fulgoromorpha: Derbidae).

A new genus, Neomegatropis gen. nov., in the tribe Nicertini (Hemiptera: Fulgoromorpha: Derbidae) is described from China with one new species, Neomegatropis rubrimacula sp. nov. (China: Hainan, Jianfengling), described and illustrated. The number of spines on the apex of the second metatarsal segment is discussed as a criterion to distinguish the tribe Nicertini from the other four tribes within the subfamily Derbinae. A key to eight genera in the tribe Nicertini is provided.
