Dai, Wu & Zhang, Yalin, 2010, Review of the Old World leafhopper genus Mimotettix Matsumura (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae: Deltocephalinae) with description of new species, Zootaxa 2651, pp. 1-26 : 7

Mimotettix facialis (Distant)

Paralimnus facialis Distant, 1918: 62 .

Mimotettix facialis (Distant) ; Webb & Heller, 1990: 7.

Material examined. 13 (syntype Paralimnus facialis Distant ), Assam, Margherita, W. Doherty; 2Ƥ, same data as syntype (see Remarks below) ( BMNH).

Remarks. The identity of this species is uncertain as the dissection of the only male specimen is missing the aedeagus. Only the male bears a museum type disc but the two female specimens could also be syntypes as they bear identical data labels although also labelled from the Indian Museum.

Distribution. India (Assam) ( Fig.16 ).
