摘要
Species of the cixiid tribe Bennini are characterized by a pair of lateral rod-like appendages at the base of the abdomen which are present in both sexes. Hitherto, 22 Bennini species have been described in the genera Benna, Bennaria and Celebenna from throughout Southeast Asia, two of which occur in New Guinea. Recent field studies carried out in native forest ecosystems in Madang Province, East Papua New Guinea, provide evidence that the number of Bennini species is - as in many other insect taxa - higher than previously assumed. Here, we describe two new Bennaria species from Papua New Guinea and give preliminary notes on their ecology.
