Extract

The following are descriptions of two new species of leafhoppers of the genus Dikraneura from Western Canada. Notes on other species found in that region are appended. Two of the latter, rubrala DeL. & C. and rufula Gill., have apparently not been recorded previously for Canada. Figures of the aedoeagi are provided, as this structure normally provides the only reliable specific characters and must be examined if specific identifications are required. The name Dikraneura is used here in the restricted sense, following Oman (1949), rather than in the broad sense of DeLong and Caldwell (1937), Beamer (1943), and others.
