2943282EFFAEFFB0FF1292572D4A0257.taxon	discussion	Remarks. Adama includes four subgenera and their external morphology is similar. However, they can be distinguished by the following characters: crown with fore margin broadly parabolic or nearly foliaceous, thinner than in other subgenera, pseudostyles usually recurved mesally and crossing each other apically in Adama (Adama); crown much shorter in Adama (Zinjella), Adama (Paracostemma) and Adama (Krisnella). Head narrower than pronotum, face with frontoclypeus narrow in Adama (Krisnella); head at least as wide as pronotum, face with frontoclypeus strongly broadening upward in Adama (Zinjella) and Adama (Paracostemma). Connective U-shaped, fused to pseudostyles in Adama (Paracostemma); connective Y-shaped, articulated with pseudostyles in Adama (Zinjella).	en	Xu, Deliang, Zhang, Yalin (2023): Taxonomy of the leafhopper genus Adama (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae: Deltocephalinae: Selenocephalini: Adamina) with description of a new species from Botswana.

2943282EFFADFFB7FF12919D284A012B.taxon	etymology	Etymology. This new specific epithet originates from the Latin word “ serriformis ” referring to pseudostyles with lateral margin of triangular lamellate process and subapical margin all having small serrations.	en	Xu, Deliang, Zhang, Yalin (2023): Taxonomy of the leafhopper genus Adama (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae: Deltocephalinae: Selenocephalini: Adamina) with description of a new species from Botswana.

2943282EFFADFFB7FF12919D284A012B.taxon	discussion	Remarks. This new species is similar to A. hobohmi Theron, 1988, but it can be distinguished from the latter by the following characters: anterior margin of pronotum with three pairs of black circular spots in transverse row (with pair of small black spots behind eyes in A. hobohmi); style with apical process with three tiny blunt teeth at apex (with a small angular process at apex in A. hobohmi); connective with pseudostyles basally bifurcate, with a pair of triangular lamellate processes arising from lateroventral surface near apical 1 / 3, lateral margin of process with small serrations (pseudostyles sub-basally bifurcate, without triangular lamellate process, with weak serrations arising from subapical to distal region and strongly sclerotized in A. hobohmi).	en	Xu, Deliang, Zhang, Yalin (2023): Taxonomy of the leafhopper genus Adama (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae: Deltocephalinae: Selenocephalini: Adamina) with description of a new species from Botswana.
