Genus Paurostauria Kirby
Genus Paurostauria Kirby 1900: 132
Type
species: Paurostauria delicata Kirby 1900, by monotypy
Known species: Only the type species, restricted to Christmas Island, is known.
Notes: This genus is unknown to the author of these pages despite examination of a large collection of Auchenorrhyncha from Christmas Island in ANIC. The original description does not provide comparative notes with other genera even though this is not the only ricaniid to occur on the island. Ricania flavifrontalis Kirby was described in the same publication. The generic affinities of both species need to be re-examined.
