Homa rubrodorsata Kato, 1933a: 452, plate 15, fig. 26; 1933b: pl. 30, fig. 5. — Xu et al. 2022: 188, figs 78-80.

Empoasca (Homa) rubrodorsata Esaki & Ito 1954: 22.

MATERIAL EXAMINED. — No material examined.

REMARKS

The identity of this species, described from Japan and Taiwan is uncertain as it is known only from a female type and males are needed for species identification. However, from the figures given by Kato (1933a, b) and images of a type given by Xu et al. (2022) taken by Dr Masami Hayashi from the Kato family collection (Japan), the marking on the forewings indicate it is correctly placed in Homa.
