9F1D2B7A4C3E7F0E8EB2F80CFA612D09.taxon	discussion	Remarks. According to the description of Dworakowska, the genus Platfusa has body proportions resembling those of Aruena Anufriev and wing venation as in Igutettix Matsumura (Dworakowska 1993). Through specimen observation, we found that the face of Aruena is slightly concave, while the face of Igutettix is prominent. Ohara and Hayashi (2022) also observed that specimens of Igutettix had the frontoclypeus swollen and the antennal ledge developed. In this regard, the three genera are completely different. The main characters distinguishing Platfusa are the slightly convex face, pygofer with dorsal appendage and macroseta at or near base of appendage, subgenital plates fused to each other (except in P. semena sp. nov.), petal-shaped and partly enclosing pygofer.	en	Jiao, Meng, Yu, Xiao-Fei, Yang, Mao-Fa, Yan, Bin (2025): Three new species of Platfusa Dworakowska (Hemiptera, Cicadellidae, Typhlocybinae) from China.

9F1D2B7A4C3A7F098EB2FC44FAA72FAB.taxon	etymology	Etymology: The specific epithet is derived from the Latin word semen (seed), referring to the aedeagal processes which look like a sprouting seed from dorsal view.	en	Jiao, Meng, Yu, Xiao-Fei, Yang, Mao-Fa, Yan, Bin (2025): Three new species of Platfusa Dworakowska (Hemiptera, Cicadellidae, Typhlocybinae) from China.

9F1D2B7A4C3A7F098EB2FC44FAA72FAB.taxon	discussion	Remarks. This species is similar to the other new species, P. lepus, but it differs in having the ventral aedeagal processes arising near the shaft apex. This new species is not typical of the genus Platfusa, because its subgenital plates are separated, rather than fused at base. However, we have chosen to place it in this genus for the following reasons. First, its overall appearance is more consistent with the characteristics of Platfusa, body stout, similar patterns on the forewings and veins on the hindwings. The face is neither very prominent nor flat, but slightly protruding. Second, all specimens have a pygofer appendage and the subgenital plate surpassing the pygofer.	en	Jiao, Meng, Yu, Xiao-Fei, Yang, Mao-Fa, Yan, Bin (2025): Three new species of Platfusa Dworakowska (Hemiptera, Cicadellidae, Typhlocybinae) from China.
